Yes, this is work. Could you confirm (or deny) that the apical scutellar bristles are erect ?

Thanks!
Yes, I mean it is erect - at least half erect.

Thank you. Palpus are black. Looks like there are 4 sternopleural bristles.

Male Tlephusa cincinna.

Very rare outside Scandinavia, and therefore not the first species one thinks of.

Thank you!

It is found once in Norway - in 1935 (Tron Soot-Ryen).
