It looks like a Pseudolyciella stylata group

But, as far as I know, it is usually called the
pallidiventris group...

To this group belong pallidiventris, subpallidiventris en stylata I believe. I didn't now that it was called pallidiventris group, any way I cannot recall to have read it. Yet, Paul, when you say so, I am convinced you are right. I just called it stylata group for the simple fact that in my key first stylata is treated and that by chance I had some stylata in front of me last week.
Is there a rule for giving names to species-groups? Is it pallidiventris, because it was the first species to have been described (I believe by Fallen, I think, I have no lit. here)?
Now I am really going to hit the road.

In the days we did not have
Pseudolyciella I think the group was refered to as the
Lyciella pallidiventris group, probably because that was the oldest described species in it. These days we have
Pseudolyciella with 5 Palaearctic species, of which three have a greyish mesonotum and two a yellowish mesonotum with 1 or 3 vitae. The ones with greyish mesonotum are the old
Lyciella pallidiventris group.
