The three photos below show two specimens that I collected in Vila Nova de Gaia, North of Portugal. The specimen in the first photo was caught on the 19th of May and the other specimen on the 16th of June. I'm not sure if both are the same species...

I have found Chyromyidae as well a few months ago. ;) But it escaped. grr. The typical green-orange eyes!

Thank you Tony, that's a new family for me:). I never saw a chyromyid alive.

I saw one alive so far. Only 1. :(
They should be common just overlooked. ;)
