Hi,
I am thinking this is either
S. graminum or
S. griseola, both of which I have not encountered before. Found in April in a garden in Vienna

It is S. graminum. S. griseola has at least slightly darkened legs and somewhat longer dorsal lines of tarsal setae. Female S. teinoptera is virtually undistinguishable from S. graminum but it does not ocur in lowlands of central Europe.

So this is then the corresponding male, I guess?

This is the female of S. pallida (yes, the name of this species is inapproprate).

uff, I should have taken a look in the key again. Only 2 ac rows, so Sc. pallida. Thanks Jan!
