Hello Nikita, thank you for the correction. Perhaps something from the Minettia fasciata group? Michael |

OK, I would have pointed you in the wrong direction with Parochthiphila (Chamaemyidae) Jan Willem van Zuijlen |

How can you distinguish them? A good question. Just get a lot of experience (which I obviously still lack) by identifying material upto family level with the key of Pjotr Oostenbroek.
