evdb pointed me to the Lauxaniidae, but I don't find such short yellowish wings.
More, The ptilinal suture is still rather open.
And what do you think about four ocelli ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't see dorsal preapical bristles on tibiae and I do see something black sticking out of the rear end. I think Tephritoidea.

According to FE and INPN, there is a single species in France, Earomyia bazini (Séguy, 1932).

I think this is a Dasiops: lunula seems to be with setae, vibrissa present (although visible only on one side). And certainly there are more Earomyia species in France, just they are unrecorded.

Apart from the fact that Jan could be right with his Dasiops (Earomyia and Dasiops are both relatively scarce here and I did not bother to dig up my key, sorry), do not put too much trust on the distribution of those genera in France as given by Faune Europaea.

OK, Paul.
As always, nowadays, Fauna Europaea is only taken as an information source, not as a proof.

It looks like a female Dasiops at this size most probably a female D. latifrons. The French Lonchaeidae were reviewed by Withers & MacGowan (2014) and the most up to date and accurate distribution maps can be found at Lonchaeidae online.

Dasiops latifrons map is at
