Ozhigovo station, Naro-Fominsk district, Moscow region, Russia. Size around 3.7 mm. The same forest with Tilia cordata/Carex/ferns where I found Peplomyza litura recently. I think it's a Minettia flaviventris (my first attempt to ID with The Keys to the Palaearctic Flies of the Family Lauxaniidae by A. Shatalkin).

I don't think you search in right genus, there is no ia between sa and last dc.
I'd say Meiosymyza pallidiventris

In Fauna Europea it is Lyciella pallidiventris (Fall?n 1820).
Dear Lauxaniidae Experts, make taxonomic situation clean, please:@

Well, you do not make it easier for Black: the species of the pallidiventis group are now in Pseudolyciella. The present image will not suffice to put a species sname on it.

Hmm, so there's no ia, and what I took for it, maybe pa? P. stylata, P. pallidiventris and P. subpallidiventris (spp. with grey torax) can be distinguished by parameres only, so the pictures won't help indeed...
