Can this Psychoda be identified ? Could it be P. sigma ? Unfortunately it's a female. The speciment is between 1,5 and 2 mm and found in a small forest area near a lake, North Jutland Denmark 20/05-24 And since my pictures for some reason doesn't show, here's a link to the observation on Inaturalist https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/217981387 Edited by Svavar on 25-05-2024 15:26 |

When you can't add a picture the file will be too big. Unfortunately there is no warning at all. It is not Psychoda sigma and it do not seem to be a Psychoda although the venation looks like Psychoda. Genus Mormia (and hence tribus Mormiini) maybe is a candidate, but in fact I don't know. |

Indeed the original is too big.

The antenna once was there, but maybe this pic is not close enough Also if Mormia, it must be eatoni due to the separated eye bridge Svavar attached the following image:  [189.95Kb] Edited by Svavar on 26-05-2024 22:59 |

I have some not yet carefully studied pictures of Mormia eatoni from the London museum, but that wing is different from yours. So I still don't know. |

Psychoda has the wings folded. |
