My Amblyjoppa fuscipennis is very similar to the pic but has black femora and entirely pale tibia whereas these are banded. I only have a female and this may be a sex difference. Amblyjoppa attentatoria (Kuzin 1950) from Russia only seems unlikely and I have no idea what it looks like.The only other Western Palaearctic species of this (so far as I know too) distictive genus is Amblyjoppa proteus' It is mostly black. Complex keys indeed Impossible without specimens.How big was it Mine is about 2cmm long. Robert Nice ich nice photo
