Congratulations.

Many thanks :)

It's a new species for Portugal ?

It is according to Catálogo de los Diptera de España, Portugal y Andorra (Insecta) [2002], unless records were published later.

As far as I know Tolrá didn't mention any Kyrbia morens for Portugal and some more recent publications on Tachinidae doesn't mention this species. So it is very likely to be the first citation of this species for Portugal.
Did you collect it? I hope so...
