Thank you very much Reinoud.
Tolmerus sp. is fine. I have a question: It is possible ID to species females Tolmerus?
Best regards,
Luis

It is possible if males are present...... there are several very similar species and of some of them the distribution is poorly known.... like T. strandi and T. micans. They are not known from Spain yet....: )

Very near the site of this photo I've seen frequently males T. pyragra although I think there could be more Tolmerus species in the area.
Once again, thank you very much.
Best regards,
Luis
