I'm just starting to learn species of Lasiopogon, so I won't venture a guess. You could try sending the photo to Rob Cannings at the Royal BC Museum, he studied the genus for his dissertation. There are several undescribed (or at least unpublished) species in Europe, and given how poorly sampled some areas are, I wouldn't put too much stock in the checklist. Neighboring countries show up with several other species; are those truly not present in your country, or have they just not been caught yet by someone who would know the difference?
Happy hunting!
