May 17, 2009, Naro-Fominsk, Moscow region, Russia. Male: wing length 12.5 mm, body size 11 mm. Pretty common. Wing pattern matches that in Pierre (Faune de France, 8, Fig. 464), but it seems that
cx are grey instead of yellow...

I reckon that this is
Limnophila schranki Oosterbroek.
The bunch of hairs near the tip of the inner dististylus is quite distinctive.
Also in Denmark a numerous spring/early summer species.
Regards,
Walther

Many thanks Walther - I'll proceed with more genitalia images (and maybe we'll hae Pjotr Oosterbroek here one day...)

L. arnaudi has also that tuft, but nevertheless this is schranki.
