That was my first guess - looks like the
Billaea maritima but let's wait for Theo :D

It is indeed a Billaea.
Need to check the literature and collection, many of these are rather rare, so I have little experience here.

it keys out to B. maritima, due to the lack of marginal bristles on tergite 3. It looks, however, different from my collection specimes from Bulgaria.

The abdomen is broader, as in my Bulgarian ones.
Maybe the angle of view is playing tricks with us.

Not sure what you are asking but it looks like a photo of
Ocytata pallipes - the median vein seems to disappear :)
