Today. Alfajar?n. Monegros region, Zaragoza, NE Spain.
Size: about 6 mm. long
Cloudy day (this is the reason of the blurry photo)
Habitat: near slightly salty water. From time to time in Phragmites australis and in high numbers in Tamarix gallica.

Can be identified?
Thanks

Thanks Jorge!
Species of Ulidiidae cited from Monegros region:


only one??? Physiphora demandata...
But not-cited species don't are the same that not present species!

I hope that this was not an Herina tristis again...
