Hello!

Two other small flies from Ostwestfalen/Germany (house garden, yesterday). I think they belong to the Lauxaniidae. The first one was about 5-6 mm, the second with the yellowish wings only 4-5 mm. I think of a Minettia and Lyciella/Meiosimyza. Am I right?

Top is Pseudolyciella (formerly in Meiosimyza [= Lyciella]), bottom may be Meiosimyza or Tricholauxania praeusta.

Thanks a lot! I had taken a look at the gallery and found Minettia cf. flaviventris which seemed very similar to fly #1.
