Sicus ferrugineus is the correct name? Thank you very much.

Yes, it is. S. nigritarsis seems to be rare.

And what about S. fusenensis und S. abdominalis? I learnt that without a clear lateral look at the female theca Sicus cannot be identified (see http://home.hccne...sicus.html)!

It is difficult to see... I always try hard to get a good lateral shot (see below).
"Theca not projecting ventrally, in side view 2-3 times broader than high" leads to S. ferrugineus Smile.
