Looks like an easy ID for any expert. Which species could this be?
It's from Winden, near Stuttgart (Pfalz), 7 june 2013.
Cheers, André

Thank you Magnus.
Is this the only species of the genus with a mid tibia/tarsomere like that?

"The name of the genus (from χαμψις, the curve, and χνημη, the tibia) was given because the males of many species are distinguished by the peculiar curvature of their middle tibiae." --
