Very grateful for your information. It seems that it will be difficult to know its species....
The last days I find quite a few in the bathroom of the house. Being a very small insect, it is very difficult to take pictures of it.
But, is there any detail that differentiates them and that I could try to photograph?
Best wishes!

The last segments of the antenna... Mostly not well visible on photo's, and I do not know how many species there are in your region.
I myself make pictures where I can measure wing length, which gives a bit impression of which species it is not. But it remains the most difficult genus within Psychodidae.

I can see that it will be difficult. But I will try...
Kind regards
