I believe this is indeed Lynnaemya vulpina. But I would really appreciate the confirmation as I need it as a reference. Thanks in advance!

That does look like L.vulpina ... assuming that you do not have other species with similar coloured legs

Thanks a bunch, Chris! The truth is that I have NO idea if any similar species exits in Spain, but at least I know now that I am not saying some kind of taxonomic atrocity  I am happy enough being able to name it Linnaemya cf. vulpina  |

I think it is fairly safe but Theo should be able to tell us

Let's wait for Theo's opinion. It is better to be extremely happy than happy enough, isn't it? |
