Any ideas about this one? I found it on Eryngium campestre in the plains of N Spain, on August the 7th, in a very dry area by a main road.

Thanks in advance for any clue! :)

What can I say about this one? :D

There it goes, just in case it's helpful...

Maybe another Stomina? :D

The arista is bare.. so no Stomina.

Looks like a Bithia to me, the erect apical scutellars (have a good look) support this

Thank you both for the help!!! And sorry for the very late reply, I've been awfully busy...

I guess it's not possible to go further than Bithia sp., so I'm editting the thread with that conclusion.

Cheers
