You tend to see more females in these situations because they are there for egg-laying; males are thus rarer, because most psychodids do not feed as adults and once mating has occurred the males do not last long. Females are distinguished (sometimes with difficulty) because of the presence of along ovipositor, whereas the males have a complicated apparatus, usually hidden in the scales. As to the Hungarian expert, I think Gabor is referring to Jeno Szabo, who died a long while ago.
