The one in the middle might be Clytocerus ocellaris (Boreoclytocerus is by most people today regarded as a subgenus); however the Clytocerus ocellaris complex is notoriously difficult. The whole genus is urgently in need of a revision.

I am currently working on the Norwegian species of Psychodidae and would very much like to receive material.

Edit: I have reexamined my specimens and can't justify labelling any of them as C. longicorniculatus. They have long corniculi, but the genitalia are different.
