Nemoura cinerea

These two were identified using the new FBA guide and the process was more straightforward than I had previously found using the old RES key. I couldn't clearly make out the necessary detail before partially clearing the abdomen though.

I had previously found these two and used the old RES key to identify them. The criteria given there were different so I've taken different photos to what I might have done had I used the new guide, but I think you can just about see enough to confirm the ID using the new guide.
