This is Baris sp., but there is no chance for an id without better photos and / or host plant. Best regards Frank

I don't have more photos... and no foodplants, because it's under a rock. (february 2007).

Baris species in Spain:

Baris albomaculata
Baris analis
Baris novaki
Baris rufa

and many similar genera such as Aulacobaris, Cosmobaris, Labiaticola, Malvaevora, Melaleucus, Melanobaris and Limnobaris.

Thanks Wink

All genera without Limnobaris are former Baris and most of them are blue, blue, blue. Without collected specimen or very good photos from various angles no id chance!!! Greetings Frank

OK, then, is Baris s. l. sp.
I take the names in the preliminar list of Alonso-Zaragaza, 2002, maybe many names are different tha in most books, due to the year of publication.
