Yes, not Ditaeniella, but Pherbellia with only one frontal seta. Sometimes one may born without hand, sometimes with only one fo seta.
Pherbellia of difficult group with short midfrontal stripe. Possibly Ph. albicarpa

Thank you Nikita.
I think it's Pherbellia knutsoni. I found Verbeke's publication (1967).
Yes, it is a very difficult genus where the examination of the genitalia is crucial.
