Thanks once again Stephane...a new one for me...and also new for Shetland :). That's two new species for up here in one day.
Regards Roger

Stop, stop ! I have been too fast with this one : the eyes are distinctly hairy, so it is not
Muscina at all. It is a male
Phaonia errans (if 4 post dc - difficult to see with precision), otherwise
Phaonia apicalis.
Sorry.

No sweat Stephane
Phaonia errans is good, I've had that one a few times, but it isn't on my checklist...so still an unrecorded species for Shetland :). Thank you once more..
Regards Roger
