Was
Cypsela and then
Borborus - the latter was suppressed in 1997 in favour of
Sphaerocera. Are you as confused as me now ?

More confused...but I'm working off a crap Checklist with out of date names....none of those on the list, so this
is an unrecorded genus/species for Shetland.
Thanks Phil......Roger

Hoorah - a result ! But you should get this crappy checklist modernised by reference to the latest British checklist: if you send it to me in an email, I'll do the necessary (if you like - don't wish to appear pushy or anything);
