4.5mm, Clitheroe UK, 27 October 2010.

Another one from today. I caught two specimens, one slightly larger. Both have clearly biserial acrostichals and key to F. pruinosa (in Rozkosny-Gregor-Pont), but from the descriptions F. pallitibia seems a more likely find. If I have misjudged the width of the frons it could go to F. vesparia.

I went out again today to see if I could find a male, but no luck. I saw several females and took some shots to show the frons width and acrostichals:

Sure, frons is too wide for vesparia.
F. cf. pruinosa it is.
