Thanks..
It is Rhagio grandis, a forgotten species or the eastern Pyrenees.
The type is lost (Budapest, 1956). This specimen might serve as neotype (to be published), that is, if you are willing to donate it to Naturalis.
Great find !

Wow! That's great! Thank you for the identification Theo. Good that I wanted to have it checked.
Of course that is all right. I will see if I come by soon, otherwise I can give it with somebody or send it by post, but that is maybe a bit tricky.

Theo, and Rhagio "tringarius" from Portugal is true tringarius?

I guess so.
Rh. grandis is, so far, restricted to eastern Pyrenees and one mountain in Asturias.

I just had a quick glance on biodiversidadvirtual portal and yes, most, if not all, “tringarius” from Spain are indeed just that .., tringarius.
