Eumerus is not an easy genus, certainly not in the mediterranean. Maybe Andre or others can make a guess but i wisely keep my hands of a specific determination Smile.
In Belgium I would call it Eumerus tricolor but as i say, the genus counts a lot more species in the mediterranean i don't know.

This looks like the female of Eumerus sabulonum. A fairly common species in Spain, which is good, because it is a very nice one Smile
For 100% ID of any Eumerus species, collecting would be best.
