Chamaepsila unilineata
Reinstated on the British list by Tony Irwin, 2016 who differentiates it from Ch. pallida. Workers should re-examine Ch. pallida specimens.
Amendment of records thus re-identified is not possible on online databases (NBN Atlas, GBIF) hence my use of GIS-produced maps on this site. If I receive such amendments to records previously submitted I will correct those
Records were specified by Irwin only in terms of locations within Vice Counties - hence the peculiar map.

Arista rather long setulose (as in Hennig, 1941, fig. 19, right illustration); Palpus yellow.

Roháček et al. 2016: Largely unknown. Adults occur in June and July in Switzerland, from lowland to about 1600 m (Shatalkin & Merz 2010). The specimens examined were collected in June, from low vegetation in forested and (less frequently) open habitats.
