I think its one of the big Dasiops species, either D. latifrons or D. ensifer

Thanks a lot! Looks like in Spain Dasiops ensifer is recorded only from Balearic Islands, while D. latifrons is well represented in mainland. So I will go with the later!

The Iberian Lonchaeidae are mot well studied - D. ensifer occurs in Portugal, France and Italy so there is every chance it also occurs in mainland Spain

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
