Not getting anywhere with this one, any help appreciated. No adaptations to tarsi, palpi yellow/brown, abdomen dusted with a pattern similar to
L. uliginosa when viewed from direct posterior. Tried Palaearctic key but either I'm being dumb (quite possible) or it isn't there? Thanks!

Dave - postero-dorsal pic of abdomen might be helpful

Hi Tony,
Will have a go tomorrow, not sure how good it will be, in the light it appears shiny black, only when viewed from the rear is the pattern visible and not that distinct.
Cheers,
Dave

"No adaptations to tarsi"
You overlooked that fore tarsus has tarsomeres 2 to 5 red.
It is male L. kowarzi kowarzi Becker, 1903
