 I get Tachytrechus notatus in Grichanov's key for Northern Europe (which does not include Scotland).

 Cheers for that John. I had it down as Tachytrechus sp. on my Flickr page, so I'll add the notatus to that Smile Also a new addition to the Checklist for Shetland.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.
