Thanks, guessing cylindricornis is more likely, seem to be a fairly commonly reported species. Not sure if minor occurs here? Not possible as a reporting choise in the national report system.

L minor seems to be poping up all over Europe since it was described, so work looking at old collections?
I seem to reacall the
minor does not have white arrista? but denitalia are the true way to be sure
