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! :)

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
