Yes, I think so too, but I don't know how to rule out
E. ida, present in spain, about which I haven't any information al all...

The only information I've found about
E. ida are the drawings of the genitals by Starý and Mendl, 1984 - available at ccw.naturalis.nl.
And the ovipositor looks significantly different from the one in your first image (and also from my own images of
E. lateralis)!
