I carefully checked on the pronotum: in 2013 I observed 2 male L. raymondi on this site; its larva has typically 4 pale spots on the pronotum (2 frontolateral, 2 posterolateral). This larva only the 2 hind (posterolateral) pale spots on the pronotum.

It was glowing crawling in the moss in the crevices of the chalky rocks

Lamprohiza germari (Küster, 1844)

Most probably female of Lamprohiza germari (Küster, 1844)
as we found males nearby
undescribed to science (!)

This females was in dense vegation of a shrub at a tree base in drier habitat, glowing after male flight activity

Lamprohiza germari (Küster, 1844)
male

Males fly low (15-20min at the end of evening twilight) and glow faintly from only 1 light organ in the shape of a lying "8"

the upper species (Phosphaenus hemipterus) is already in another separate observation! Lampyrid fielwork woth Corentin Robin (Univ. Antwerp), checking out observation methods for Lamprohiza type larvae

Males attracted to light decoys. Afterwards quite some individuals were also remarked on the road towards the city center, crawling on the pavement in the light of the street lanterns (hard pressure sodium), so attracted out of dark habitat (and glowing females) into the ALAN (artificial light at night)/light pollution.
