Many thanks for your information.
With the guidance that tells me, change the title to try to go further in such identification.

Best regards!

I think Tachytrechus ca. insignis Stann. would be better as 1-2 species have similar features.

I really appreciate your information.
I have no knowledge to identify, and I can only follow the opinions of experts.
Known whether the two possible species have been identified in Europe and Spain.? Maybe that could clarify the issue.
I will upload another picture to try to clarify identification.
I edit the title with his alternative proposal until it could be a confirmation.
Best regards from the south of Spain.
