cothurnata female, I'd say. Colour of the legs, combined with the vague idea that the 'silverish' stripe at the side of the thorax is short.. Check some collectionmaterial, I'd say :-) |

I would say Dioctria hyalipennis: the silverish stripe is on the side of the thorax is complete, the femora are yellow and the coxae are dark (D. linearis has yellow coxae). Mark |
