looks similar to Pneumia, but that genus hasn't been recorded in Austria so far

With the white spots along the wing margin it often is genus Pericoma. I think the species then is P. pseudexquisita based on the veins.
But in mountaineous regios there also is genus Berdenilella with many species. They do not have black markings, are a bit more brownish, so here I think it is a Pericoma and not a Berdeniella. But be aware of some hard puzzles here!
Pneumia not in Austria? That cannot be true.

At least 12 Pneumia species are known from Austria.
