    How sure are you which of this group of similar species it is?

    We have another one identified as Siphanta acuta but I am not sure about that ID either.

      No not sure any more after reading the info you attached. Just going by visual identification from photos still makes me think that it is Siphanta hebes but obviously isn't enough in this case. My specimen is definitely no more then 10 mm and not 15 mm as mentioned for S. acuta.
      I have another photo of a visually different species. I will put it on for you to have a look at.
      Thank you.
