It certainly looks like Catharosia (tiny, shiny black, very long petiole, diffuse colour on wings with white tips) - well found  But I hardly ever see these so let's wait for some other confirmation too

Yes, they are not too common in the area where I collect. I had only two before and last year I didn't find any. Jari |

Catharosia is fine but the calyptra is very blackish. SO it must be pygmea. You won't believe it, but albisquama is even much smaller ! Theo |
