 I identified this specimen as Hubneria affinis, but I'm not sure. Hubneria should have setae on posterodorsal margin of hind coxa, but I don't know if I'm seeing the right bristles. In one of the photos below I indicated with red arrows what I think are those hairs.

 Hi Rui,

Your arrows point to the trochanter, not the coxa, which are higher ( and bare). Huebneria has the scutellum very red. This is something else.

 So what about the apical scutellar bristles ?

 Hi Theo, the apical scutellar bristles are more or less horizontal (so it can't be Hubneria! Shock ) and crossed. I'm now thinking it could be Nilea hortulana. I attached some more photos.

 Nilea hortulana is a very good suggestion.

 Thank you Theo. Do you need to see some particular feature to confirm the species, or can I label the specimen as N. hortulana?

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
