Glyptotendipes

I don't have complete descriptions of European species, only a key based on genital characters. This looks superficially like subgenus Glyptotendipes, but species of that subgenus have a hook at the end of the superior volsella which I can't see.

Great! Many thanks, I'm happy to know the genus.
