Really, you are right. It's not a Tephrochlaena species! The modern key to Heteromyzine genera was published in Zootaxa 4820 (1): 165–176, by me and Giuseppe Lo Giudice in 2020... ;)


Any idea about the ID of this presumed Tephrochlamys, Andrzej? I have several specimens of it from across the UK and the features seem consistent. It comes to carrion, and baited traps and gets swept generally in woodland. Seems quite common, whatever it is!
