Hello,

I would like help with identification of the specie.

Thank you.

Dorycera sp. - Ulidiidae.

Many thanks Claudio for the quick reply

According to the wing colouration, I think it is D.pictipennis in the Turkey new record article belonging to the Ulidiidae family. There is a record from the province of Hatay and the wing shape seems to fit. There is also D. maculipennis recorded in even closer geography, but its wing coloration does not match. What do you guys think?

Yes, it fits.
