6+mm, Clitheroe UK, 12 April 2011.

I failed to catch this one but got the one next to it, which came out comfortably to B. striolata in Ackland's females key. But do I now have to call it 'B. striolata group'? I wonder if B. discreta females can be distinguished?

Not every B.stiolata is now suddenly B.discreta, but we can't rule out now B.discreta.
I am waiting for more information, I will keep you informed....
