Yes, a well known one, but I can't remember it's name currently.

Something hispanica.
The third antennal segment is typical.

no sorry. Wink We are here to help/teach/learn from each other! Smile
And we still have so much to learn (specially myself. Smile

I *really* love the acrocerids in spite of the fact they "destroy my" spiders. Smile

Enjoy your holidays, Theo!
Thank you.
