Dear all,

I collected this female at the entrance of the Verdon canyon. It gives me little difficulty.

Following keys (central european key to genus, Ceretti to species) I find T praeceps, as sintergite 1+2 has white pilosity. But abdominal pattern doesn't look like picture I find on internet for this species.
So, is it an not represented pattern or did I go wrong on something?
Abdominal pattern look more like Nowickia's, but tibiae are definitly red.
