Hi, this photo is from Graz (Austria), from a cave. About 4mm long.
The subject was jumping around.

Could please someone help me to identificate it?

Yes, I know it's hard to be more specific with these subjects, but it's ok, I wanted to know if the family was right.

Thanks for the confirm.

I might be wrong about this, but the antennae are very similar to those of Conicera. It's certainly not Megaselia.

Yes, look like similar, I was looking for Anevrina.

The checklist say:

Conicera dauci (Meigen 1830)
Conicera floricola (Schmitz 1938)
Conicera schnittmanni (Schmitz 1926)
Conicera similis (Haliday 1833)
Conicera tibialis (Schmitz 1925)

Thanks !

Marcello
