Hard to say anything without a dorsal view of the terminalia at higher magnification |

Clogmia is not unlikely at all. But I would not put a species name on it without making a slide. Where did you find the specimen? |

First time I find in Quercus water-filled tree holes (dendrotelmata) Psychodidae larvae by Vaillant 1989 nad Rozkošný 1980 there are Clogmia sp. ; Telmatoscopus sp. and Psychoda spp. In October 2011 i find this adult I think it is adult from tree - holes Psychodidae larvae but, I'm not sure. From literature about Psychodidae adults I have only Enderlein, G. (1937) and description are similar to the L. tristis (Meig. 1830) = Clogmia tristis  |

Enderlein's taxonomic work on Psychodidae is not very good at all. Lepiseodina tristis (placed by some authors in Clogmia - the classification still isn't sorted out well) breeds in water-filled tree-holes, but the same is true for L. rotschildi and occationally Clogmia albipunctata. I can probably examine the specimen for you if you want. |
