Entomobryoides mineola
Orchesella is excluded: the 4th abdominal segment is too long. Also the basal antennal segments are not subdivided.
Note the aberrant antennae: the number of antennal segments should be 4 iso 3. So the antennae have been damaged (broken) in the past at the level of the 3rd antennal segment. The antennae have been recovered but only partially : 3rd and 4th antennal segments are recovered as one combined segment.
