This is an ultracharacteristic moth midge with the darl head and swollen palpi. I see this species quite often, but so far I could not iD this.

In Hungary? It will be a Pneumia species, but many resembling species in that genus.

Yes, in Hungary.

I hava a problem with Pneumia.

Pneumia is a reerected genus, to which a lot of other stuff has been transferred (See https://www.biotaxa.org/Zootaxa/article/view/zootaxa.3180.1.1) . But I do not have this paper. So I cannot really know what kind of Pneumia species are there in Hungary at all.

Can you point me to a valid generic key for these?

So far only stemmeri and szilady seems to be detected in Hungary.

I am not a taxonomist, so I don't know. Stemmeri is in Sathelliella according to Fauna Europea.
I have no key useful for pictures.

In Vaillant 1971 etc. they are on page 249 and further. Many species of Satchelliella (In Erwin Lindner Die Fliegen paläarktischen region. I have a pdf version, I could send it.)
