Thanks for your comments both,

D obliterata I know very well, very abundant in Belgium -especially from coastal dunes in autumn. I agree, this is certainly not D obliterata.

D finlandica I only know from one specimen I've seen in Spain (formerly not known to Spain :-) ) and from the holotype and 8 paratypes in Brussels.

What strikes me in this specimen are the extremly dark wings (compared to type series) and rather pointy antennae (I want to check this against the types, for I cannot remember the types to have that pointy antennae?)...

Anyhow, I do not dare to call this finlandica without actuall material in hand ;-)

cheers!
