I have no idea, although it looks somehow familiar.
Yesterday, February 10, 2025, in Minas de Riotinto.
¡Gracias!

John, could it be
Discocerina obscurella?

It is not
Discocerina obscurella, which is a dull species. I key it to
Ditrichophora or
Gymnoclasiopa, both in the same tribe Discocerinini.

Perfect!
I will try to find the Spanish species of both genera.|t

I think it could be
Gymnoclasiopa flavoantennata because its bright yellow-red antennae. Even the species name suggests this feature.
