I'm assuming it's Sciaridae but a midge was my first thought, anyone familiar with this? Ceratopogonidae?
It's from the atlantic rainforest, SE Brazil (Sao Paulo)

Yes, it's Ceratopogonidae - reminds me of Clinohelea, but not all the characters that distinguish the genera are visible in this photo.

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
