I must confess I can't decide between S. sphondylii and nigripes...

In our Dutch species-system we only have sphondylii...
I may add two pictures, maybe they will help..
Can you say what part you need to be more sure..?

Thank you, that helps,
Saltella sphondylii is OK, it is clearer that the katepisternum is entirely pruinose, and the mouth edge is protruding.
