Could this be Dexia vacua?
Found in a small valley with a creek nerby, 20 July 2008 (Helsingborg, Sweden)
Size ~10mm
Thanks!

Very well-marked ... I would guess it is
Dexiosoma caninum, from the pale legs.

I agree with the original ID Dexia vacua.
Very nice, I have never seen this species alive.

Wow - the colour on the abdomen is quite distinctive I suppose ... nice find ... good photos for the gallery perhaps :) I didn't know
Dexia had such pale legs :)
