May be Clogmia albipunctatus ?
Thanks for help.

larva: I can see hardly any small sclerites on the abdominal segments, except for the last 2 segments or so. So this must be a Psychodini. As the head is triangular in shape, the genus Psychoda or Tinaeria seems more likely.
Pupa: impossible to identify it, pupae are notoriously difficult (for me), and the abdomen is missing.

Thank altylotus, I did not realize the pupa was not complete...
I took the folowing picture the same day in an other room of the house :

Probably the same genus ?

The correct taxon is
Tinearia.

Thanks Pierre, I just find
Tinearia genus. It's quite different of
Psychoda and I did't meet
Tinearia imago in this place.
I should be surprised to have two different taxons in the same closed place and at the same time !
I favour Psychoda but it has to be confirmed.
