Can anyone suggest a genus for these two Cecidomyiidae? Light trap, Townsville, Queensland.

Probably supertribe Cecidomyiidi. This group is very difficult to identify to genus.

Thanks John. I appreciate any level of identification. I'll drop the word 'genus' from my request for Cecidomyiidar :)

John, most of the stuff I collect have the same wing venation. Is this useful at subfamily or supertribe level.

Wings of Cecidomyiinae are mostly uniform, except for Lasiopterini with short R veins. The most obvious difference between subgroups is in the form of antennae.
