Well, I found an alternative, a species I have never seen but seems to be present in Slovakia.... Neoepitriptus ninae Lehr, 1992. Copy from brief translation (key) 33. normalerweise sind die Beine ganz schwarz, seltener sind die Hüften und tibiae posterior grau-braun; Dististylus Abb. 3.6; Länge
11,5 - 19,1 mm, ∅ 14,2 mm........................................................................................................................................ N. ninae sp. n.

I think that "hüften" should be "schenkel" > femora

There is another detail why I am doubting, M arthriticus has besides bristles on the sternites also rather long hairs on the first few sternites, they seem to be lacking in your specimen.
