Hello,
Another Minettia on ivy on November 11, 2019 in the south of France. About 5,5 mm.
Can it be
Minettia subvittata?

Thank you very much Paul,
I thought Minettia subvittata because of the long silks on the edge of the second abdominal segment. But that must not be the only feature and unfortunately I only have this picture.
I'm surprised at the shape of the last abdominal segment. Is it a male or female indication or a feature?

It is a female, as is also evident from the black abdominal spot between the tergites and sternites.
