I think you took a wrong turn at Søli couplet 95. Your fly matches "Anepisternum with strong bristles at least near upper margin".


Thank you very much again! You are right, I looked at the katepisternum...

Anepimeron isn't visible, but the general impression leads me to Mycetophila sp.


Thank you very much Walther Gritsch. With the correction of John Carr, I came to the same conclusion. I added a picture of where I believe in the Anepimeron with setae.

I could not find much further information, but read that from this point on most are categorized in species-groups, but did not find resources that described what is needed for further ID. At least not Mycetophila ruficollis-group I believe, but not sure further. If more details are needed, I can look through the raw pictures again. I have read Peter Chandler talked about making an extensive key of this genus, but could not find more about this.
