Hi,
I have tried to key this first for a genus but got stuck at No. 23 (Igor's keys). I think this has 5 pairs of DCs, but that also states stylus not lanceolate at apex.

Either I have done something wrong, or this isn't included in the keys.
Found on 7th June at the side of a field of onions only a little distance from where I live, near Lincoln UK. Size ~5mm

Janet, you made a wrong decision in couplet 15: Acrostichal setae are in two rows

Yes I did, thanks Stefan! I was thinking "uniseriate" meant a single row either side, but looking at the other option it makes sense!
There are no photos in the gallery so I will upload a couple later. :)
