Hello!

Unfortunately I have only this photo. From tonight at our house (Ostwestfalen/Germany), length about 8-9 mm. Macroceridae? Thanks in advance!

Long antennae but no Macrocera (Keroplatidae, Macrocerinae). Withthis kind of wing venation (most clearly visible the fork in R4+5) you are looking at Bolitophila (Bolitophilidae).

Hello!

Is this also Bolitophila? It has a thicker abdomen (female?). Found yesterday at wintergarden wall (Ostwestfalen/Germany). Length about 7-8 mm.

Thanks! I had hoped to get some better photos for the gallery, but these are also not so good... Sad
