Hi, I found two female Psychodids in a cave with lot of bats. They are small, smaller than Psychoda alternata. They were not far from the entrance. I photographed the terminalia of both, and one specimens wing and antenna. It seems tohave only 13 segments.

Well, I have a lot of Psychodids in my collection in alcohol, but only recently did I manage to get NaOH. Right now I preparate only the new finds, but later I'd like to ask help with some old ones as well, when I start preparating them.
