Much encouraged by discussion regarding T. trimacula I examined that location again this morning hoping to collect some specimens. Although it seems that sweeping didn't brought me more T. trimacula I was lucky enough to find more flies which IMHO belong to Pallopteridae.

First, P. saltuum without any doubts. 2 specimens, size 4-5mm.

And the last one, with dark spots on wings.
More views available for all of the four.

I think the second is Tricholauxania praeusta, but it is difficult to see if there are really small setulae on R1.

Thanks Paul - it seems my family labels were a bit premature again.
Maybe I'll be able to check the details you need.

Hello Dima,

Not entirely so. The first two pictures are indeed of a pallopterid! These are pictures of Palloptera saltuum (Temnosira saltuum if you like), a male. This species displays sexual dimorphism. Amongst other things the bristles are yellow in the males whereas these are black in the females.

I have not been paying attention either. I thought there were only two species here: two pictures of P. saltuum and a series of pictures of a second species. Not it appears that there are more species...

Tricholauxania praeusta third and fourth picture (not fully coloured) and last picture (fully coloured). Fifth and sixth picture probably a specie sof Meiosimyza (= Lyciella.

Many thanks Jan and Paul,
Well I think that Lauxaniidae are not any worse than Pallopteridae Smile (for those who cares at all of cause).

When it comes to identifying them to species, they are worse. If only because there are so many more of them and so many similar ones...

With exceptions like Tricholauxania praeusta which is an easy one.

I'll check, maybe there's more images with wing better visible than in this dorsal view...
