It looks like an Icius species, though I couldn't say which one. There are about five in Spain I think

THANKS A LOT Smoggy and Jorge!!!! I was desperated because a spider specialist couldn't identify it. She (L. Collado) says also that can be an Icius, or maybe an Aerulillus. Now, I have the complete name, thanks to J. Mota!!!!

Aerulillus -- never. Wink

99% to be Icius hamatus. Wink TO be sure just with specimen and loup. Smile
I know this species well. It is very widespread here. I have a photo of Icius hamatus (no worries... there are slight differences in ophistosoma)

It looks much more like a female I. hamatus than I. subinermis!
Thanks a lot!
