Hi Mike, I'm afraid we'll have to wait for the experts to confirm D. lateralis.
If I compare with Wolff et al, this male's legs and abdomen match quite perfectly:
- fore and mid leg completely (reddish) yellow
- hind tibiae mostly black
- hint tarsus brown (or black)
- hint metatars slightly [?] thickend [I think it's distinctliy thickened]
- abdomen black with distinct patches
I propose to edit the thread's title with "Dioctria lateralis?"
