Is this Suillia notata, please? It keys to S. notata using the Withers 1987 key, but the right surstylus doesn't match the figure in that paper very well. This specimen seems to have an additional finger-like projection, which I've also seen in other specimens so not an aberration.

Collected in a plantation at Winteringham, North Lincolnshire, England, 29 September 2012.

I should have looked in Gorodkov before I posted these. Yes, notata does have the two finger-like projections.
