Female; 7mm; third antennal segment grey and rather fuzzy; arista plumose; 2+4 dc; post apical scutellar bristles long, strong and crossed; 2 pairs of lateral marginal scutellars; palps pale with long black hairs; eyes bare; back of head with black hairs; post verticals short but strong and divergent; long, strong divergent ocellars; long strong incurved lower orbitals. From 17 June 2006, east London cemetery park.

(Hope I've got all the terminology right - didn't attempt to describe the setae on the tibia, as I never get them right)

Many thanks Tony. Are those 3 ?antero ventral bristles on the hind tibia a good indication of Helina?
