28 Adalaria proxima

The A. loveni image in Thompson & Brown (1984) resembles this photograph of A. proxima, more closely than Alder’s image of A. loveni (fig. 29) and Norwegian photographs of A. loveni (fig. 24). The inflation of tubercles on A. proxima varies considerably, and those with the most inflated ones are liable to be confused with A. loveni.12 mm. Outer Hebrides, Scotland. April 2018. Leg. D.
