Hello,
I've been suggested Mycetophilidae as Family, but I have doubts because of its size.
Could I have your opinion please?

Mycetophilidae, indeed. Perhaps Neoempheria?

LoL, I am getting rusty in fungus gnats, that was what I had in mind but the wrong name surfaced.

Beautiful species, adults rather elusive.

In Southern France, the only species should be L. walkeri, don't you think?
