Nowadays I have a few of theese little guys around in my house in Tuscany, Italy. Body lenght 2 mm. Any hope to go beyond subfamily Psychodinae?

Philosepedon spec. In my country (Netherlands) it would be P. humeralis, but in Italia maybe there are more candidates. Furthermore: it is possible that humeralis in fact is a species complex, it maybe could be splitted in several species, much is unknown.

Thanks! Then in the gallery this:

should belong to the same species group
