Thx. It looks identical to the pic in the gallery. Do you are anyone know if other A. sp look similar? A. nudiuscula and ordinata are reported for Spain.

Mesonotal setae without regular rows, halter black, marginal scutellar setae arising from tubercles, parafacials at level of antennal bases and antennal grooves without silvery-white tomentum, fore basitarsomere whitish yellow. Then - A.glabra.
A.ordinata with mesonotal setulae in regular rows and black halteres.
A.niduscula with halteres yellowish.

OK, this is clear. Haltere is not yellow, and the mesonotum does not seem to have a regulara pattern of setae.
