Hello,

this ~8mm mite is from last may from my garden near Neuss (germany). Is the family Mycetophilidae correct? I guess, nothing more is possible then.

Thanks,
Michael

Hi, Michael!

What about Orfelia sp. (Keroplatidae)?

Hello Jürgen,

thank you for the answer. Hmmm, there seem to be rather similar species in both families. Now I suppose without the wing venation nothing is possible here.
