On first sight one would think of Dioctria hyalipennis but the coxae are completely yellow, just like legs 1 and 2, and the abdominal segments have a yellow posterior margin. The border between the parts of the thorax that are pollinose are sharp, too. Sandy soils. Mark van Veen 1996 does not mention Amsterdam, but there must be some forest edges on sandy soil.
