Hi forum members,
I found two of these rather nice Leucophenga flying about a dead
Acer pseudoplatanus tree. Size about 5 mm. Location, Shropshire, UK August 2009.
Any suggestions for genus and possible species?

Thanks Paul,
I keyed it as such, but the spots are so joined up that I could not convince myself it was L maculata.

I have to admit that I never saw specimens of this species in which the spots are joined to such an extent, but this is known to happen in some specimens.
