Hello, using Pape´s and Povolnyi & Verves' keys it seems fit M. punctata (no vissible lines in thorax, colour of abdomen, 3 well defined spots on terguites..) but these are the species recorded in Spain
Miltogramma aurifrons
Miltogramma brevipila
Miltogramma iberica
Miltogramma oestracea
Miltogramma punctata
Miltogramma ruficornis (= murinum a px-sar)
Miltogramma taeniata
Miltogramma testaceifrons


I haven´t found any key nor description for M. aurifrons, in case it is Miltogramma, cpuld anyone discard M. aurifrons and really say M. punctatum (or say the genera in case it´s not Miltogramma?)

Thanks again :)

A lateral view, the spider was really small!
(http://www.biodiv...earch.html)

The lateral spot of terguites (seen in the upper view) become in this lateral view a long band

This is not M punctata as punctata has dark antennae.

M aurifrons is similar to M germari (missing on your list) and very different from your specimen.

You are missing another species on your list: Miltogramma rutilans

and I am convinced that your specimen is indeed M rutilans. Tolra nor Fauna Europaea mention that species from Spain. But I have it from Spain myself.
