Eyes are separated, while it's a male:
sabulonum/tricolor/ovatus. Can't see with certainty if the eyes are hairy (
tricolor/ovatus), but it looks like it.
Sabulonum may usually have more red on T3. Abdomen looks densely covered with silverish hairs; thorax looks to have a blueish shine. This makes me, at this stage, I'd vote for
ovatus.
@ Martin: as far as I know now,
nigrostriatus Lambeck, 1973 is a junior synonym of
etnensis Van der Goot, 1964 (same with
purpurariae Ba?z, 1982.
Etnensis male has eyes holoptic and bare.
Any comments... please! I am still studying on Iberian species.... :p
