Hi Reinoud!
Thank you very much for your time and interest! Yes, I guessed at Neomochterus because of the shape of the ovipositor. Thanks to your explanation, I can see now why it can not be that genus. Following your advise, I compared these flies to Kurzenkoiellus, but I think there are a number of of features that do not match, for example the ovipositor is sightly upturned in Kurzenkoiellus, while it it somewhat downturned in these flies, and the color of the large bristles are also different. So it seems these remain unnamed.
Thanks again!
Greetings,
Henrik
