I agree - it seems more distinct than some. I'm not saying it will get a full binominal, but you may get sub-family or something. Quote:

The thing about microscopy is to help choose between the high numbers of those that have already been described - in addition to discovering new ones. That is why a specimen/microscope is often needed, so you can get a better view of the insect in 3D to get ' pedantic' and analyse every single detail to seperate all the very similar-looking species. If I misunderstood, just overlook this bit!   |

Probably Callitula pyrrhogaster (Walker) Pteromalidae.
Unfortuanately I can't post on HYMIS today, I can log in but it logs me out when I go to reply! I have asked a friend to post thanks for me until I get a fix, if possible.

NBN Gateway shows one record on the coast of Wales... NBN Gateway - interactive species mapper
But I found it was listed in one area in Scotland on gbif.

That's brilliant, Janet - thanks! A sparse record, then... but... could it possibly be widely overlooked, do you think?  |
