All femora predominantly black
Crossveins infuscated and flagellomere seems dark
Species left:
pallipalpis, alma. (ungulata+falcutata+costata=not collected yet in England)
Female of L.alma has abdomen black........
Female of L.pallipalpis ...i don't know...
So....L.falcutata could be....?
Just save it as unsurtain L.falcutata and try to collect more species (male !!!:D)and compare with each other.
Time will tell !
Or......Stephane can tel you more!?

Thanks Joke. I will keep my eyes open for males. L. falculata, I have found out, is quite rare here, so it would be a nice find. We are aiming for 100 Red Data Book species of invertebrate on the reserve and this would be 99!
