I've been searching about your petiole clue and this could fit with genus Apodacra, with three species in Spain: cyprica, dispar [i] [i]and seriemaculata.

Could it be possible?

Pape (1996) lists the important characters of Apodacra:
- Small body size.
- Extensive yellowish colour.
- Flagellomere 1 at least 3x as long as pedicel.
- Vibrissa short, not exceeding distance between vibrissal sockets.
- Vibrissa black and bristly, strongly contrasting to adjacent hyaline setulae. - No supravibrissal setae.
- Wing cell r4+5 closed.
- Wing vein M distal to bend strongly sinuously curved.

Yes, it is Apodacra and it is out of my comfort zone.
There is a relative recent review by Verves et al.

Hard to know the species, as far as I've read about. It needs a clear view of the legs ...

Thanks Mr Zeegers & Mr Carr!
