Hemerodromiinae, probably Phyllodromia melanocephala. Platypalpyus has the middle femur largest, or rarely both fore and mid legs enlarged. In Hemerodromiinae the fore coxa is very long, and in European species the fore femur is swollen. |

Correct. The male has the black line along the fore femur.
