It looks like Phortica but I don't know how to distinguish European species. |

May need some genitalia preparation for species ID...

External characters seem to be too variable for certain ID for these species. Male genitalia are conclusive, female genital structure supposedly too, but I dissected a female a while ago and I had trouble in associating it with either of the two species.
