Hello,

Can anyone tell me a bit more about this Psychodidae, 3 mm wingspan, found at home (Saint Apollinaire (21), France) on 18th september 2004 ?

I think this should be Psychodinae subfamily, but I don't have any information about this family, so I'm even not sure of that... :|

Thanks for your help !

I think this is Clogmia albipunctatus, a cosmopolitan species, which usually lives around toilets.

Couple of images of this species on my web site.
