I've been searching about your petiole clue and this could fit with genus Apodacra, with three species in Spain: cyprica, dispar [i] [i]and seriemaculata. Could it be possible? Edited by JavierZgz on 30-04-2023 08:45 |

Pape (1996) lists the important characters of Apodacra: - Small body size. - Extensive yellowish colour. - Flagellomere 1 at least 3x as long as pedicel. - Vibrissa short, not exceeding distance between vibrissal sockets. - Vibrissa black and bristly, strongly contrasting to adjacent hyaline setulae. - No supravibrissal setae. - Wing cell r4+5 closed. - Wing vein M distal to bend strongly sinuously curved. |

Yes, it is Apodacra and it is out of my comfort zone. There is a relative recent review by Verves et al. Theo |

Hard to know the species, as far as I've read about. It needs a clear view of the legs ... Thanks Mr Zeegers & Mr Carr! |
