Hydrotaea ignava (formerly called Ophyra leucostoma). The lustrous black colour and the large, brilliant frontal triangle are typical for the species formerly placed in Ophyra.

Edit: make that Hydrotaea sp. near ignava. There are some mediterranean species in the group that look rather like ignava.
