It is Wagneriini no doubt. But are you sure it is not Ramonda ? The outer vertical seta does not seem to be that strong, and the position of the humerals is difficult to judge from these pictures (despite their excellent quality !) Theo |

Three humerals on a straight line, meaning you are quite right ! Theo |

Thanks Theo, obviously W. gagatea is a lot rarer than Ramonda spathulata (which I see regularly) so it did need double checking. Steve |

Ramonda prunaria should be 'common' as well, but mostly if you collect with malaise traps.... theo |
