I am pretty sure this is a Medetera sp. And looks extremely similar to Medetera flavipes, which is very common in Spain. Can the species be confirmed? Taken by Jose Manuel Sesma in La Rioja, N Spain, sitting on a wall by a river with lavish vegetation, on June the 23rd 2012. Thanks for any help!!

Yes, that is Medetera species, but I doubt it will be possible to say which species without a specimen.
