I tried an identification after the key of Van Veen:

-It is a female (theca at the underside of the abdomen ->2
-2b: Theca projecting. Perpendicular on the sternites, hind rim not bend ->5
-5a Theca in hind view (not as long as wide, rounded) it is elongated ->6
-6a: Femur 3 yellowish on its basal twothirds,... -> Thecophora fulvipes Robineau-Desvoidy
(6b: Femur 3 yellowish on its basal half,... -> Thecophora atra Fabricius)

Is it Thecophora fulvipes (colour of Femur3)? Who can help me? Thank you.
