Two different individuals, both (different) Chironomidae I think. Is that correct? Could something be said about the genus to which they belong?

Thank you in advance.

Individual 1 is a female Chironomini, possibly Chironomus or Glyptotendipes. Individual 2 is a male, but I'd only be guessing if I suggested a subfamily! (Procladius keeps pushing its way to the front of my mind, but my advice is to ignore my unreliable memories! :p)
