Hello!

I found this 8-10 mm midge on Sept-26 on a leaf in our garden (northwest Germany). At first I thought of a Trichoceridae, but then I found a picture of Scleroprocta sororcula ((Limoniidae) in one of my books, which looks very similar (also hairy wings) except of the dark, lenghty spots on the wings. So what is it??

Cell dm open, anal vein (or 2nd anal vein, more traditionally) too long and sinuous for Scleroprocta, so rather a Rhypholophus/Ormosia.
