Jorge with partly yellow tarsomeres, short antennal flagellomere and strong setulae on the genae this is Dasiops latifrons a common species in southern Europe. the other species you mentioned in yur e-mail, Lonchaea aristella is now called Silba virescens and is one of the very few European Lonchaeidae to have a row of long hairs on the arista .........
