Thanks Jozef - I was hoping so! No species yet described to be found in Austria, so now the challenge begins to try to find out the species

The genus is easy. There is one vein less in the wing. Between the forks 1 in stead of 2. Also the segments of the antenna are quite different from other genera of Psychodidae.
Furthermore the round wing and indeed the golden hairs.
