Hi!

According to "Entomofauna germanica" there are only 3 species of Platystomatidae listed for Germany: Rivellia syngenesiae, which looks totally different, Platystoma seminationis and Platystoma lugubre. I think (but I am no expert!), the last one also looks different (lighter wing colouration). P. seminationis I have already found several times here in North Rhine-Westphalia. I am not sure, if P. lugubre can also be estimated in our region.
