This Psilidae comes from the departement Gers in Southern France, it was caught May 2007.
It has infuscated wings, a big normal rounded head and the arista is quite thickened. It's about 5 mm.
Anyone familiar with it?

Hi Gerard, my guess would be
Chyliza extenuata which arista matches with this one.

Hi Stephane,
Yes, you must be right. I found it in one of my books, but I wasn't sure because my book didn't mention the darkened wings. There might be some variation in it!
Thanks!
Greetings
