Hello,
Help requested to Id the attached. All photographed in East Sussex, South of England.
I thought A might be E. pertinax (broad facial stripe )
and B might be E.abusivus. The other two I can't work out.
Can you put me out of my misery and assist with my further education.
Many thanks Gordon

A = tenax B = nemorum/interrupta C = tenax D = pertinax

nemorum/
interrupta has a small, dot-like pterostigma
pertinax has yellowish tarsi
