I would say this is Nephrotoma submaculosa, quite common in Spain. See http://nlbif.eti.uva.nl/ccw/ for more details and pictures for this species. (for example search: Spain, Nephrotoma, habitus). For more information or identification queries, please reply to p.oosterbroek@chello.nl). Thanks, best wishes. Pjotr Oosterbroek |
