Hello, This tiny one has me stumped (came to the lights in the pantry). The key from Haupt points to Mycetophilidae, but I am not convinced. Your opinion would be highly appreciated (click on photos to enlarge, click again to reduce)  Dimitri GEYSTOR : France : 8/9/2006 : Monsegur : 47150 altitude : 200 - taille : 6 mm ref=13659  Dimitri GEYSTOR : France : 8/9/2006 : Monsegur : 47150 altitude : 200 - taille : 6 mm ref=13660 Thanks, Dimitri Edited by Dimitri Geystor on 12-09-2006 17:04 |

So antennas aren?t always a reliable character... Sciaridae flies seems have an antenna more longer than usual for a dipter.. Thanks for any clarification!  |

I think Keroplatidae. Some species i this family have very long antennae.

One typical aspect of Macroceridae is that their antennae are longer than their bodies. I think your image show a female Macrocera sp. Here is an image of a male from Japan. |

Indeed a Macrocera, Macrocerinae, Keroplatidae.
