Found walking on seaweeed, many specimens moving around in a beach in Asturias, N coast of Spain. Date: 22.12.2013.

I think this is Fucellia sp. I usually see Fucellia tergina in coastal Asturias, but this one has clearly some hairs between the acrostical bristles, which I didn't see in any of my Fucellis tergina. Can this be Fucellia maritima? Or is more probable an aberration? Please, any comment on this will be most welcome. This has me really puzzled. Thanks in advance!! :)
