I guess this means the best way to name it is Parageron cf. loewi ;)
no, i think you can call it
loewi, put it in whichever genus you prefer.

Please, what make you think it is loewi instead of aurata?
I have seen no specimens of
aurata ss from Spain. There are, however, two similar undescribed species that occur in south Spain, but these are rare and, although specimens are few, i have never seen one of these that looks like your specimen. Apart from genitalia, they differ in male eye separation, hairs on frons and nature of dusting on mesonotum, some of which features are visible in your photo.
