Hello there,
I think this time I have a quick answer by chance. It's a Heliotaurus ruficollis (Alleculidae).
Cf.: http://www.treknature.com/gallery/Europe/Portugal/photo16485.htm.

Regards.

So it isPfftPfftPfft and it was described by (Fabricius, 1781) Check on round brackets in the glossary. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johan_Christian_Fabricius will tell you something about Fabricius.
