Hello, can you tell me what kind of spider is this? It looks like "Philaeus chrysops" but the patern on its back is different.

This is a most likely a Velvet spider, possibly a male Eresus sandaliatus. Very sweet and interesting spiders!
Thanks, very cute indeed 🙂
Agreed with Trahearne, velvet spider species. I got as far as Eresus niger male.
Uğur böceği örümceği ( Eresus )
Kadife örümceği erkeği
It looks like Eresus sandaliatus
