Hi Cosmin,

Yes, this is Stichopogon sp., and it very probably is scaliger Loew - which is indeed known from Romania. Very nice photos of these little flies! Your Stichopogon looks just the same as Rui's - which leads me to think that his is also S. scaliger (even though scaliger is not yet reported in the literature from Spain or Portugal).

Regards, Eric
