Hello everyone !

I'm having a bit of trouble to find the family of this fly... The wing nervation looks like a Psychodidae but there's no hair...what do you think ?

This one has been collected in a woodland area (forest of Orléans) in the Center of France, in April 2021.

Definitely Psychodidae, why it has no hairs I don't know. Antennae are incomplete but tribus Pericomaini is certain.

Very few hairs (if any) remain on any psychodid in alcohol...
