If this is indoors it is most likely a Clogmia albipunctata which has lost all of its hairs. The hairs on the wing membrane fall off very easily, which is why they are not used very much in Psychodid taxonomy. I'll upload examples of a different species, where two specimens which were identical in venation and genitalia have quite different hair patterns due to hairs falling off. |
