What a beauty !

There are several Gonia with spotted wings, but probably only one in Spain. Need to check whether that is G. maculata or another one.

Did you collect it ?

I forgot to upload another interesting view. This one:

You have indeed only one species, and it is called maculipennis, not maculata.

That is probably roundabout 600 mm. equivalent. Impressive work.
