Can someone help me identifying this Hybotidae? It was found in the Netherlands. About 2,5 mm. Sorry for the bad picture

Could be Platypalpus minutus or australominutus...

There is a narrow, glossy strip on the mesonotum, so I think this confirms minutus/australominutus. Thanks. How can I distinguish both species? |

You cannot in females. Males can be distinguished in subtle differences in male genitalia.
