Myopites? (in Seguy, Faune de France, 28, Pl. VI). Fauna Europaea quotes only
M. inulaedyssentericae and
M. lelea for Spanish mainland, I don't know what they look like...
P.S. I've found similar images by eguzki in

Try
Trypeta zoe. I have one which looks like this, but my pic is much smaller! I found this while on one of my many searches some time ago and have given mine that name unofficially.

It's indeed a Myopites, but neither M. inulaedyssentericae, nor lelae.
Unfortunately this genus is a taxonomical disaster (to say the least).
For what it's worth, the wingvenation as well as the wingpattern indicate M. eximia. But only the examination of the types can reveal which name fits to which species...
