It has a similar look to Gymnosoma nudifrons in the gallery. The pictures were taken yesterday in central Granada.

Thanks !!

But then again, all Gymnosoma look similar !

I strongly doubt whether this is nudifrons.
But even with the specimen in hand, I (nor anybody else) might not be able to give you a reliable ID. The genus is badly in need for revision.
