I have 2 species of Scatopsidae, that I am not sure about how to identify.

Using https://www.online-keys.net/infusions/keys/keys_view.php?key_no=23#c4, is it correct that both have a "Scutum with an elevated U-shaped ridge"?

This would mean it is part of the Aspistinae subfamily, where Aspistes berolinensis is the only species of this subfamily in The Netherlands.

First species: The Netherlands, today

Amazing very interesting! I believe I got confused by the elevated scutellum instead of the scutum :)
