Hello
Collected yesterday in the mountains, size 8 mm.
4 post dc and hairy eyes but the apical setae of scutellum are not really erected.
Perhaps another tribe.

Parasetigena is a spring species, so that would surprise me. Are you sure the praeapical bristle is small ?
it is difficult to see, but it might be large (?)

by the way, the apicals are not erect in Parasetigena, just semi-erect (angle about 45 degrees, maybe slightly more).

They are as long as the last post dc.
But the tip of the palps is black, my exemplary Parasetigena they are yellow.

Sorry, not prae-apical, I meant praealar bristle.
My mistake.
So could you answer this question ?

Praealar bristle is strong.

So it can't be Parasetigena, since praealar is small in Exoristini.
It keys out to Clemelis pullata and that could be it.
Need to check my collection.

No, it is not Clemelis
Do I see a bristle on the backside of coxa3 (first picture) ?
That would be great help

On the side of coxa 3, there is a row of bristles but nothing on the back.
