I think it is tribe Chironomini -- dorsal eye extension, angled r-m, R5 ending near wingtip. The hairy wing veins might provide a clue to ID. Otherwise, the tiny spines and spurs at the tip of the mid and hind tibiae can be used to identify some females, but I have no experience doing that. |

I agree with John - it does appear to be Chironomini. A warning for me to look more carefully before responding!

John Carr, Tony Irwin. Thanks to both for your comments and help. Although these small mosquitoes are very frequent in my area, it seems definitive that it is impossible to try to go beyond what is indicated. Best regards from southern Spain. José Marín |
