Hello.
Could you help me identify this Mycetophilidae?
Captured in France in Lunel-Viel (Hérault) on 11/12/2016. Size: 5 mm.
Thank you in advance.

Genitalia resemble those of
M. flava but I have too little experience to say it is that species definitely. Jan can probably say more.

Yes, it is Mycomya, but difficult to say more from the photos.
If you have the specimen, you can use the monograph by Vaisanen, see here:

I am unable to read the genitalia ... :|
All I can do is this picture of the ventral view (if I'm not mistaken).
