Nice to see the lists of the spanish weevils, but unfortunately it?s terra incognita for me. To submit a pic and find my contact data, klick on the link above ;-) It?s a little bit difficult to find spanish experts for all beetle families, but for Curculionidae there are some colleagues.

This case: Subgenus Compsolixus is ok. If these are all spanish species, it can be only ochraceus or albomarginatus - living both on Reseda. Lixus doesn?t look like good fliers, but they are very mobile ;-)

Comparing your photo with my collection and books, it should be albomarginatus.

Best regards
