Found what I believe to be Aprosthema sp. due to the wing venation, but the hind wing doesn't have a stalked anal cell. Also is fully black, which doesn't match the 3 described British species. Any ideas what it might be? Found in Berkshire UK.

It's Aproceros leucopoda.

Ah fantastic thank you, so it's not a native species, makes sense that it wasn't keying out in any of the British keys. Will be reporting this find!

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
