I still have a problem to distinguish these species. This one definitelly doesn't have yellow hairs on the abdomen, but I have seen L. ephippium the abodmen of which looked much darker. Are there some other important characteristics?

Slovakia, Great Fatra mts., 600 m.a.s.l., forested valey

Thank you in advance

PS: I have quite many pictures of this specimen, I can send some slightly different views, however, I didnţ manage to photograph terminalia too well.
