Any ideas about this one? I found it on Eryngium campestre in the plains of N Spain, on August the 7th, in a very dry area by a main road. Thanks in advance for any clue!

Maybe another Stomina?

The arista is bare.. so no Stomina. Looks like a Bithia to me, the erect apical scutellars (have a good look) support this Theo |

Thank you both for the help!!! And sorry for the very late reply, I've been awfully busy... I guess it's not possible to go further than Bithia sp., so I'm editting the thread with that conclusion. Cheers |
