I suppose these are two Limoniids? Same species, male and female. First two pictures are the female, last three the male. 5 mm. On a stem of reed. Can someone help? I can make more pictures.

Ormosia sp. I cannot tell the species because the details in the male genitalia cannot be seen and I cannot very well see which is the fourth flagelar segment of the male antenna, nor whether it is a good lateral view or not.

I found a key of the Ormosia genus itself, so I'll run it out.
