Looks like Paramormia ustulata, but I do not know the Spanish species list.

Dear Weia. I very much appreciate your response.
Something similar indicated to me about the photograph of another Psychodidae previously uploaded, with a very similar appearance. https://diptera.i...d_id=95681
I replied that according to the "Fauna Ibérica" ​​web portal http://iberfauna....dtax=48275, this species is considered among those existing in Spain. But I have no training or knowledge, to know if that is enough reason to be able to identify the insects in my photographs, which have that look, as authentic Paramormia ustulata. Nor have I been able to locate a Spanish specialist in Psychodidae, who answers my question.
Would it be at least correct to identify these Psychodidae from my photographs as Paramormia cf. ustulata? Cool
I have one of the two insects photographed preserved in 70% alcohol at the disposal of the specialist who wants to study it in more detail.
Kind regards from the South of Spain. Smile
José Marín.

¡Ola! It seems that ustulata is the only species of Paramormia in Spain. In that case this surely is ustulata.

Very grateful for your confirmation and also for your help and interest in identifying these small and difficult to identify Psychodidae. Grin Grin Grin
I will edit the titles of the photographs, confirming their identity.
Kind regards from southern Spain.
