Limoniidae, either Molophilus or (more likely) Tasiocera.

Thank you Jorge and Dmitry! Looking for possible matches I came across some Molophilus photos that look similar but not exactly the same so I was in doubt even on the family level. |

It was suggested to me that this could also be a psychodid. Unfortunately my lens is not very good and the hairs on the wing make it difficult to me to see the wing venation well. I add two more photos in case they may help. |

I think this is not Limoniidae because of the wing venation, it is too simple, no branchings. I would say this is Psychodidae, a subfamily that is not common in the more colder area of Europe.

Here is another that looked like Limoniidae and Psychodidae: http://www.dipter...d_id=43181 |

I would expect a higher number of wing veins if this indeed is a Psychodid. I would guess some sort of Limoniid unless I get convinced otherwise from further pictures...

I agree with Dmitry. Wing venation is always badly visible in these genera.
Best wishes, Niels-Jan Dek |

Thank you Paul for attaching the photos! Thanks Niels, I’ll label the specimen as a Limoniidae. |
