Yes, both posts are Hyporites montanus female, recognised by the profuse leg setae. It is a Europian mountanous species where one is unlikely to find billbergi. Alliopsis billbergi female has tergite 5 rather shining blackish and contrasting with the more dusted other tergites.. The female of montanus has eyes rather close together on frons. Hyporites is closely related to Alliopsis.
