Cannot tell off-hand. I have no idea how many species there are in the area, nor about any keys. The only key I think I have is the one to the British species. I'd need to check. You can always send the specimen.

Fortunately, i have a specimen preserved in alcohol, but I want to sent when I have more species waiting for an ID. Of course, if you agree this  |

Identity confirmed as Sphaerocera curvipes. A female specimen is conserved at the Maastricht Museum (NHMM). Three males and three females collected a week later ar also deposited there. Perhaps there are more to follow...

Hi Paul, Thank you for the name, surely you will find more specimens, also I think I have collected another Sphaerocera species, but much smaller (~ 3 mm I think), in the same place. |
