Collected 9 July 2007 from Coed Cochwillan, a broad-leaved wood in North Wales. It was sitting on a sulphur polypore. Not sure I've even got the family right.

The specimen is in alcohol. More pictures to follow. Any help much appreciated, please.

Sketch of terminalia and a structure that might be characteristic. Not sure what you would call it - a clasper?

Does look like scathophagina, yes
