Found in Gijon Botanical Gardens on October the 13rd. It was on fungi labeled as Laetioporus sulphureus, family Aphyllophorales. Any ideas? Just family or genus would make me very happy. Thanks!! :)

Thanks for the correction, Paul! |t

But I still cannot find it in Fauna Europaea :| :(

Is there any synonymia for it? :o

It's new in Europe (mid-late 2000's). It is an invasive pest (in Europe and North America) from the far east.

Thanks a lot djo!! |t

Everything fits now! And I am adding a picture of the female, without dots on the wing tips. It was sitting on the same fungi.

It was formally recorded for Europe here:
