Taken in Herrera de Soria, N Spain, in area with mediterranean vegetation on July the 21rst 2013. I am sure this has to be a female Pangonius sp. but I am struggling to go any further. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help ;)

Looking to the key, I think you have got Pangonius escalerae. But I did not seen this species yet. Did you collect it?

And start collecting Pangonius, we have so few of them.
