Hello On July 1 I caught three individuals of this species in deciduous forest near Copenhagen. Body length ranging from 4.5 to 6.0 mm. I can't quite figure out what species they belong to. t2 resembles that of F. armata, but the genitalia are very different being absolutely minute. The surstyli are narrow, short and weakly S-shaped and glossy black, the cercal plate very inconspicuous. I'm using Rozkozný, Gregor, Pont (1997) but I can't find any satisfying match for the genitalia in their drawings - undoubtedly my fault  First a view of the legs!

Thanks, Nikita. Well. of course it is! I knew I had seen it before but I must have overlooked the hook-like setae on cx2. Walther |
