Found this one in the bathroom (Vienna). I found one recent publication stating that only 3 species occur in Austria, but I don't have the species list and also don't know whether these numbers are accurate. So, getting to genus level would be a good start, is this possible? Size about 3,5 mm.

Hi Lorin, I've tried to find a matching genus/species and the closest for me is Bethylus dendrophilus (4 mm, black, antenna & legs partly yellow, ocelli in isoceles triangle):
