I think this is Morpholeria, and if so, kerteszi seems the best fit. A second opinion would be much appreciated, please. More photos to come. The specimen is in alcohol.
It was collected 13 August 2009 in limestone grassland, Great Orme, North Wales.

Two orbitals, the front one smaller.

Sternopleuron. This is what gives me doubts, as Gorodkov offers the choice of one sternopleural bristle = Neoleria, two = Morpholeria. This specimen appears to have three in the top posterior corner, albeit the front one much smaller than the other two.
By the way, what are
ta and
tp in Gorodkov's key, please?

I'm raising this to the top again in the hope of an answer, please, even if the answer is that it is unidentifiable.
