Psychodidae are generally not identifiable from photographs.

Gunnar is right, but I dare to name the uniformly grey species without white wing marks "
Psychoda spec.".

That is OK. Clear message. I read that in Poland we have ca 45 species from 22 subfamilies from Psychodidae. Thanks a lot. Marek

The pale grey ones are usually
Psychoda, but
Philosepedon are superficially very similar before you look at the genitalia.
45 Psychodidae species is lower than expected for a Central European country. If you start collecting and preparing specimens you will probably find additions.
