Dove-grey Longtail Dicranophragma nemorale

This was keyed using the Stubbs BENHS book. I forgot to check for tibial spines and erroneously jumped to subfamily Chioneinae where naturally I hit a dead end. I matched it to nemorale initially by comparing the genitalia to diagrams in the book, but then realising my error it keyed well enough once I used the subfamily Limnophilinae key. The key seemed to suggest that the anterior pits should have been darker and more obvious than they were. The forwing was 6.0mm long.
