Review (by Malcolm Storey)

A short paper updating the British species of this genus in the light of recent continental (French) work.

The species are described, their microscopy illustrated and a key is given. The species can, to some extent, be identified in the field, but reliable identification relies on microscopy.

Examine Compound Microscope
Specimen PreparationDried specimens mounted in Congo Red in ammonia
Identification difficultyRelatively straightforward, although care is needed to separate V. alni from the very common V. comedens.
