Any idea about these? I had dozens of them in my pitfall traps in Italian Alps North of Milano (In Como province).

Hi Jiri, I think it's a male Limonia nigropunctata.

Thank you Eric. Would this be the same species then?

No Jiri, L. nigropunctata has a dark abdomen - this one's likely a female L. phragmitides.
