Hi,
Here is a mycetophilid-ish looking couple from 11t June, seen in a wood in southwestern Germany (50 km west of Stuttgart). Though the wing venation seems to be distinctive, I am not able to get a good genus match, so help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance, Sundew

Many thanks, John - so Keroplatidae. Is there any other choice than Platyura marginata?
