No, much more interesting. The second aristomere is elongated, is that right ?

OK, so Admontia it is.
Before we go any further, what does "CS Spain" means ?
Altitude of locality, please (by approximation)?

It means "south center". Sorry, but I write in Spanish without realizing.
The precise location is Cabañeros National Park, 39º20'N 4º16'W , alt. 690 m.

Thanks. Somwemcan exclude highland species.
Admontia is a difficult genus.
I see a broad parafacial and only one ad bristle on mid tibia. That is a combination that should not occur. So ....
You did not collect it, by any chance?

No, I didn't collect it. I think there are only three species in iberian peninsula:
A. pyrenaica,
A. blanda y
A. maculisquama. Forgetting about the first one, one ad on mid tibia leads to
A. blanda, however I think don't fit presutural stripes, isn't it?

No it does not. One thing is sure: it is NOT blanda.

I think I see weak ad bristles, no longer than diameter of tibia, above the large bristle on mid tibia.

I don't see it.

The second one is broken off, you can see the pore. That explains a lot. So, this female is similar to maculisquama, though it is less yellow than Central European ones.
