Certainly a Nowickia sp. - we only have ferox here so I am not familiar with the other species and I can't see enough detail to follow the key  |

Well, if I could see some specimens of the European species it might be obvious from the colouration or general appearance. But they key seems to work on quite small featres: bristles on T1+2; palp size & colour; proportions of the face; etc etc |

It is most consistent with a female N. ferox. However, this is based on the abdominal pattern, which tends to be somewhat variable in Nowickia. Moreover, I cannot judge all rarer species. So, N. ferox should be treated as an most likely ID. Theo Zeegers |
