thanks Gunnar...but it seems that Pericoma or Pneumia are not (often) seen in Belgium...here and in the netherlands are apparently mainly Psychoda and Clogmia sighted (http://waarnemingen.be/familie/view/10259 ) and here (http://www.academia.edu/3234380/Bijdrage_aan_de_kennis_van_urbane_motmuggen_Diptera_Psychodidae_ )
but I am happy :) thanks again

They are very common, probably even the most common free-living aquatic psychodids in Europe. There are more observations of
Psychoda and
Clogmia albipunctata because can be found in bathrooms and kitchens.
