Hello everybody Smile

It is here any specialist in Mythicomyiidae? A friend from Romania collected a few specimens and seems to be the first record of this family there. Any help with identification and informations regarding the presence of this family in Romania whould be very welcome Grin Smile

I sent the picture to the specialist Neal Evenhuis and he told this is the single species (Platypygus ridibundus ) recorded so far from Romania....but he also belive that in Romania it is possible to occur more species, so at least a good news, hehe :-)
