On house wall in Germany. Abdominal bands not interrupted, crossvein seems to be slightly infuscated. Dark band on pleura confuses me.

It is a pity that acrostichal setae cannot be seen. I think it is Lordiphosa fenestrarum, a species with 4 rows of acrostichals.

Thanks Jan - I hoped to find this species once, as it is relatively common. A male would have been easier to ID.
Unfortunately, the fly escaped my catching attempt. Maybe I'll find another one
