Its general dusky colouration is more of Physiphora smaragdina (which you have already photographed from Granada) than P. alceae, but the fore tarsi are too much blurred to say that they are NOT creamy (entitrely black) basally. There is a slight whitish trace, which makes ID unsured.

I thank you very much for your answer.

The small insect was perched on the underside of a citrus leaf, in an elevated area. The photography equipment was not the most suitable either ... As a consequence, the photographs are not good and I could not collect the insect either ... I was struck by its color, very dark and with brown tones.
However, in case it helps, I add another photo that I took ... It is not a quality image either ... Frown

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.
