I'd say Notiphila. How small?

Quite big then! ;)
You've been catching too many asilids and Milesia, Jorge!

Tadeusz told: "after comparing my specimens with photographs I think it is Notiphila venusta.
It belongs to the subgenus Agrolimna, and should have 4 large dorsal setae on midtibia."

Thanks!

Yes, it is. Coloration of fore tibiae - surely black - shows that it is Notiipgila venusta.:)
