Netherlands, 2024-03-13, indoors

I do not have the best resources on Ceratopogonidae, but know only about "Neotropical Ceratopogonidae (Diptera: Insecta)".

The following steps were taken by me to ID:
Eyes very narrowly separated, do not seem to spot macrotrichia on the wings, M forking just before r-m, normal tarsus?, would the genital (gonostylus) be seen as at least small?, radial cells with very small or unclear separation, anepisternum shows no setae → Could this be Nilobezzia?

I think it is a Dasyhelea. The eyes are touching and the short radial veins would be unusual for Sphaeromiini.

Excuse the late reaction, and thank you very much for the feedback!

I found the following key which also gave me the same genus: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kX7VaBmtQPn-eu4WT06AAObUE2NN2Dne/view
But still a lot of species not taken into account with the above key.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol
