Melanolimonia._Dicranomyia sp. is the correct name? Slovak Republic, Malá Fatra, approximately altitude cca 500 m a. s. l. Thank you very much for your help. Best regards. Fote date: 20. 05. 2026.

A crane fly, probably Limoniidae.

Yes, Limoniidae, and I think it's subfamily Chioneinae, probably
Gnophomyia.
But the first photo shows the male and the second is the female with the dagger-like ovipositor.
