Hi, I spent a lot of time with this one. I think it fits to L. pallidolineata, a rather rare species. Only leg colouration is slightly different. Or what else could it be?

Specimen is >2 mms, on the riverside of Maros, it co-occured with the famous Sphyracephala europaea.

3 Check the 5 setae in one row on surstylus.

The one thing missing is a good shot of the aedeagus! This is critical!

I see, I'll try to catch it on photo this weekend. Aedagus is barely visible on this photo:

Hi, it is slightly lesser bent as it is in my key (FaunaHungariae). Could it fit?

Along with the other photos, the genitalia points straight to Leucopis glyphinivora Tanasijtshuk! The aedeagus is spot-on. :)
