This female Conopidae was found on the glass of my car, so I stopped quickcly and pick it.

- Iberian Peninsula: Catalonia: Girona province: BesalĂș: 31T DG77
- Habitat: urban in an stone oak (Quercus ilex) domain
- Date: 30/06/2014
- Size: 11 mm

I have been studying British keys and online Netherlands keys, but I couldn't get clear (appart from genus)
My doubts are between Physocephala lacera, P. pusilla, P. vaginalis and P. vittata.

Looks very similar to this picture: Physocephala vittata, cf. maculigera (1) in our gallery

Which more details are needed for species identification?

Thanks in advance,

Rafael
