Thanks Stefan According to my Checklist for Shetland, there is only one species of Argyra recorded, which is A.perplexa. Regards Roger |

Dear Roger, if the arista is practically apical and if the scape is pubescent dorsally, then I guess you indeed deal with A. perplexa. Cheers, Marc dr Marc Pollet (marc.pollet@inbo.be) |

Dear Marc A great word "if". Not being in possession of a camera/lense combination that can focus on the pubescent hair of the scape of an Argyra from approx. 0.7metres, I think I might have to settle for Argyra sp., otherwise the anal retentives among us might have a seizure, and we can't have that..can we ?
