Thanks Stephane. One of the rare occasions for me when one of these keys readily. No doubt the next specimen will be back to the drawing board! |

Helina quadrum Tibia 1 yellow – looks ok from the photo Are there spots on tergites 3 and 4?, a shot of the abdomen would be really good for the gallery I agree with Stephane on the ID Dr Elisabeth A. Harris @FloraConsUK |

Hello Elisabeth T1 coloured as T2 + T3 Abdomden greasy so appearance is misleading. Suspect unspotted? But quite impossible to be sure. |
