my first feeling was right. Typical antenna for Mycetophilidae. Usually Keroplatidae has much more thinner antennas. really vein A1 don?t reach the wing margin, so it would leave us to Mcyetophilidae.. And the typical bifurcation for M1/M2 and CuA1/CuA2 leave us to Mycetophilidae. I think in Keroplatidae there is a slight difference in bifurcation for CuA1/CuA2... right? For Myceto CuA1/CuA2 starts from the same point. For Kero those veins starts in different points. Not sure, if this can be used as thumb rule. ;)
