anthracinum), is it a male of
Leucostoma anthracinum ?

Yes, it is a male Leucostoma and yes, it is not simplex.
The other species are very similar indeed.
So i cannot do better than L. cf. anthracinum.
The find is very interesting, since it is only 50 km. from the dutch border. We have only simplex, so far. Clearly, we need to be on the lookout !
