Is it okay if I post a group of photos like this one for identification or do I need to post it seperately
#2
Post separately is always better.

But since these were posted for identification...
1. Chloropidae?
2.
Hydrellia (Ephydridae)
3. ? (first though was
Psilota - Ephydridae)
4. Pipunculidae cf.
Dorylomprha
#4

number 5 remember to me, with strong appealing, a simuliid.

Though, I might be wrong.
#7
5. Ceratopogonidae. Only the first, swollen segment of the broken antennae is visible.
#8
yes... really.. and it has just one pair of legs.
#9
Hey folks,
Am really sorry. Posting the images seperately.

Yep the specimens are in real bad shape

Does this lok like tomosvaryella sylvatica

Hehe, separately would be as in 'in separate threads'. No need to repost them now, though.

#2 is (still) a
Hydrellia, no question marks needed

#3 is definitely a ephydrid near
Psilopa.
#4 You are right, the 1st crossvein is close to the middle of the discal cell ->
Tomosvaryella, not
Dorylomorpha (at least in Europe, IIRC some oriental
Dorylomorpha are close to
Tomosvaryella in this aspect)
Size estimates can be very valuable (assuming they are correct!).
