I have no idea, although it looks somehow familiar. Yesterday, February 10, 2025, in Minas de Riotinto. ¡Gracias! Andre Burgers attached the following image:  [289.17Kb] Edited by Andre Burgers on 11-02-2025 18:32 errare humanum est sed perseverare diabolicum |

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.

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