Perhaps Diastatidae. Let it end up on my desk in a while. ;)

Hello Paul and Dick,
I found A. nigrinus with at least a thousand specimens this year near Arnhem, Landgoed Mariendaal together with Sphaerocera monilis on rotten funghi. I observed the behavior of A. nigrinus and am writing an article about my observations.
Greetings,
Elias de Bree (alias Ectemnius)

Can you send me some details about
Sphaerocera monilis, too? This species still needs to be recorded from the Netherlands formally and I have at least four other localities.

Hi Paul,
I'll send you a pair of S. monilis if you want.
Greetings,

Sure. I think I will start preparing a note on the species, too. :)
