Hello, Jorge!

Dicyrtomina sp. (Dicyrtomidae).

Sminthuridae has ant. IV longer than ant. III which is the case. Also we can see that the small abdominal segment equals like the 2 last segments... only seen in Sminthuridae.
S. viridis has a very high variability usually being green colour, but could be brown as well like this specimen.

Jorge, you don't have Sminthurus nigromaculatus in Portugal? Here (NL) I would consider it a possibility too.

Judging from this picture (http://www.flickr...138107980/) I would say that Niels is right, there appear to be two dorsal black spots on segment 6
