I'd greatly appreciate any help with this Usiini from the Sierra de Cazorla mountains in southern Spain.
I first thought of Usia, but the design of the mesonotum is more alike that of some Protypusia or Parusia than Usia.

It turned out to be the rare Usia martini.
Thanks to David Gibbs for the identification !
