If this belongs to Diastatidae, couldn't it be Diastata costata, the slightly darkened costal region of the wing would suggest so?

Yes, possible. When I use my old Lindner (key by Duda) it keys out as fuscula. The book says, that costata is synonym of fuscula but but .... In our list of species we have both costata and fuscula Shock

Lindner is out(dated) again, try Chandler's revision in Ent. Scand 18 (1987).
