Found in a meadow by urban area by little pine woodland in the outskirts of Madrid on 08.04.2014. I guess the information provided by these two pictures is insuficient but, any chance of this being Hypovoria hilaris? I know it is too good to be true and surely something similar exists more likely to be but this has to be a Voriini (typical cross vein), and that odd petiole and extended median vein, the generatl looks and head shape, not discal bristles (at least I cannot see any) no developed bristles in the parafacial area... all points out in that direction. Whatever input on this one will be most appreciated  I am more than ready for a bucket of cold water

Sorry, no cold water ! Took me some time to exclude Uclesia fumipennis (which would have been even nicer !), but Hypovoria hilaris it is. Excellent find. Theo |

Super!!  Thanks soooo much, Theo!!! I am over the moon with this one! Never heard of Uclesia fumipennis. The cold water could have been a fact PD: I have just seen it is not in the gallery. There it goes!!
