L. bifurcata characters from left to right
1. tibia 1. with 3 dorsal setae
2. tibia 2. with 1 ventral setae
3. no long bristles on R1
4. pale vt bristles

It is the dominant species in northern Sweden. I have only seen females (partigonesis). The color is variable.
The bristle on tibia 1 doesn't fit lutea so i think it's bifurcata you have
