The segments of the antennae are barrel-shaped, most likely Pericoma (or Pneumia).

Thanks Gunnar...
Pericoma avicularia, P. nubila and P. pseudexquiseta are the only ones on the dreaded List...which means FA really, but thought I would mention it anyway! Maybe Phil Withers will grace us with his presence and wisdom! I have collected it. ( Actually died in captivity) :o

Regards Roger

If Phil is not available I am happy to receive specimens as well. Who recorded nubila?
