Alas, it is that other long-legged genus you often find on tree trunk: Sciapus.

Thanks Paul
Now I remember Sciapus among Nikita's pictures...

Dima, it wasn't good idea to crop fore and medium tarsus's top. It is important to ID speciec of Sciapus.
Nevertheless on second photo is visible that at list 3-d segment of midleg white and flatterned. If so, it seems male of Sciapus platypterus.
Right today I collected Sciapus too (and before I pined it and discovered forked M1+2, I thought that it is Neurigona tooGrin).
Mine is male of Sciapus platypterus too and I'm 90% sure in that.
Nikita

Nikita, no cropping at picture bottoms (total view with all legs would be better at least aesthetically), these were taken in the wild.

OK then I'll be more careful with picture framing next time to capture imortant diagnostic features Wink.

All 3 images confirmed by Igor Grichanov as male Sciapus platypterus.
