Thank you Theo. I am using the key in British Soldierflies 2nd edn by Stubbs and Drake and distinction between C. tibialis and C. nagatomii seems to be difficult? I have tried to compare specimen with the figures for terminalia in Speight's 1981 paper in the Irish Nationalists Journal, Vo 20 No 8. but without coming to a conclusion. I post here views of the specimen but not sure they help much?
