I tried an identification after the key of Van Veen:

-It is a female (theca at the underside of the abdomen ->2
-2b: Theca projecting. Perpendicular on the sternites, hind rim not bend ->5
-5a Theca in hind view (not as long as wide, rounded) it is elongated ->6
-6a: Femur 3 yellowish on its basal twothirds,... -> Thecophora fulvipes Robineau-Desvoidy
(6b: Femur 3 yellowish on its basal half,... -> Thecophora atra Fabricius)

Is it Thecophora fulvipes (colour of Femur3)? Who can help me? Thank you.

It belongs to the atra-group and cannot be identified with the picture but easily if you have the specimen at hand. It is not fulvipes but atra or cinerascens I guess.

bad luck, T. cinerascens i can not find in the key of "Van Veen". Can you tell me please, which species belongs to the atra-group? Thank you Jens-Hermann.

sorry, not necessary, i found "Thecophora pusilla auct. - ein Artenkomplex" in the web.
