Comparing my Chironimidae (2.6 mm) with several photos on the internet, it looks like Polypedilum.
But I am sure there must be more genera with this aspect. :D
On the wall of my balcony. In Minas de Riotinto, SW Spain.
Is it possible to assign a genus?
Thanks!
André

In tribe Chironomini, genus
Zavreliella also has brown species with brown wing spots. It can be distinguished by the enlarged, hairy fore femora.
