According to Engel (1930) and some view material in the collection of Berlin, it seems to be a female of Dioctria cf. gagates. But you can be sure that only 2/3 of the Iberian Dioctria species are described yet. Yours

Late respons. I've got a similar specimen collected in Oriental Pyrenees. With Engel i get to D. gagates or fuscipes. gagates shoud have hair on the frons, i can't see that here. Neither in my own. According to FEuropaea fuscipes is not known from Spain or France.
Greetings,
