Yeah, one of my little frustrations is that i've never been able to find other species than L. lutea and females of L. bifurcata (in the NL). The latter species is parthenogenetic, at least in GB and the NL.

L. bifurcata has pale vertical britles, pale basal segment of antennae, and partiall dark potocular cilia (Smith '69), so most likely it is a dark specimen of L. lutea as JW said.
cheers, Louis
