8mm, Arncliffe Yorkshire UK, 3 June 2011.
Collected on
Myrrus odoratus. This keys to
T. longipes and seems to fit the description. Does it look right? The narrow midstripe on the abdomen is a dusting effect, black from behind and white from the front.

That's great, Nikita! Yes, it fits into
T. longipes on all the (male) criteria you recommend. Many thanks for the link.
