Comparing my Chironimidae (2.6 mm) with several photos on the internet, it looks like Polypedilum. But I am sure there must be more genera with this aspect.  On the wall of my balcony. In Minas de Riotinto, SW Spain. Is it possible to assign a genus? Thanks!

In tribe Chironomini, genus Zavreliella also has brown species with brown wing spots. It can be distinguished by the enlarged, hairy fore femora. |
