If I can add another impression, the scutum pattern looks very like Limnophora maculosa' one...Wink

I have just read the Limnophora keys for females, and with 3 postsut dc, 2 post setae on mid tibia, the distinct pattern on scutum and the 2 black spots on each corner of scutellum, I haven't almost any doubt that it is this L. maculosa.
Can you tell, Gabor, whether it was near water as Nikita asked (to be more confident on the genus).

Yes it was near a mountain stream.
