 Is it okay if I post a group of photos like this one for identification or do I need to post it seperately

 #2 is (still) a Hydrellia, no question marks needed Smile
#3 is definitely a ephydrid near Psilopa.
#4 You are right, the 1st crossvein is close to the middle of the discal cell -> Tomosvaryella, not Dorylomorpha (at least in Europe, IIRC some oriental Dorylomorpha are close to Tomosvaryella in this aspect)

Size estimates can be very valuable (assuming they are correct!).
