Hi people,

I have a couple of photos here of what I am inclined to think could be Machimus cingulatus. They're not yet on the species list for the site, but then even I have managed to add a handful of 'inverts' to this! (Not very experienced you see)

They were taken within fifty metres of each other, a few weeks apart in August this year, on a lowland heath site in Berkshire, England. Similar in size to atricapillus.

If anyone can confirm, dispute or give the limit of what can be inferred from these pics, I'd be very grateful.

Regards,
Darren.
