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 Wink I am more than ready for a bucket of cold water Wink Grin Grin

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.

Never heard of Uclesia fumipennis. The cold water could have been a fact Wink Grin
