Hello,
This species may belong to the subgenera Euempis or Polyblepharis. Unfortunately, in some cases it is impossible to distinguish them after a photo without male terminalia because both include several very large and extensively setose species (occurring just in the Mediterranean region). As Paul has told you this species resembles very much European E. (Euempis) ciliata but E. ciliata has the thorax black setose. I guess that you found something interesting and it would be great to collect this species and send to Paul.
Best wishes,
Igor Shamshev
