Yes that looks close. But what about e.g. L. flavipes - very similar appearance

You are right. Limonia flavipes is quite similar and it is difficult to distinguish between flavipes and hercegovinae. I used Peeters and Oosterbroek key: https://ccw.natur..._2014c.pdf This point: The femur of hercegovinae has one dark ring. The femus of flavipes with faint dark ring. In this photo there is first hercegovinae then flavipes and then Vienna specimen. I think there is one dark ring also in Vienna specimen. But not 100% sure.

Thanks Esko, I went through my shots in I think the leg ring is right for L.h., if the published discrimination is a reliable feature.
