Scutellum not covered with sort setae, so no
Coproica species

Ah yes, ok...
Hmm, well the only other one of the existing images in the gallery which looks close to me is Pseudocollinella - that has a smooth scutellum. More likely?
Is there a European (or UK) key to this family online anywhere?
Curious to learn more about the splits.
Thanks for the tips! |t
