Hello!

Two other small species from yesterday here in Germany. The first one was about the size of Sepsis sp.. Is it Sepsis sp.?

The second, a couple, was about the double size. I found them on a Fraxinus tree trunk. Perhaps Callopium (Lauxaniidae) again?

Thanks for any hints!

Your sepsid is indeed Sepsis. The marking in the wing does leave no other option here.
The second, I really could not tell with any certainty. My impression is that is not Calliopum but a cannot give and clear specifics why.

But they are Lauxaniidae?

Even of that I cannot be certain.
