Looks like it has only 3 postsutural dorsocentral setae and striped eyes, which does not add up to Suillia, but right now I cannot propose any name.

A difficult one i see, shame i don't have any better pictures of it... I hope someone can tell me if it's a Lauxaniidae or a Suillia, since both of you seem to be sure about the species name. Thanks so far  |

That's me again. Maybe I've should verify my ID. In the genus Suillia the prescutellar setae are absent (rather present in the pix) and the abdomen is not expanded (rather swollen in presented specimen). Regards, Andrzej P.S> Festina lente |

It could be a Minettia...

So it's not a Suillia, but it could be a Minettia... We drop a possible species and we get a new one in exchange  The eyes are really striped, does Minettia also have striped eyes? |
