With such long antennae and apparently hyaline wnigs it should be Heptatoma pellucens. Annyway it would be better to hear a specialist.

But Heptatoma is very different otherwise. This is a very interesting case.
Any chance you collected the specimen ? If it returns tonight, please do.

Thanks.
The pictures are somewhat misleading.

It is the male of Dasyrhamphis umbrinus.

Thank you Theo! What is distribution area in Europe of this species?

South-eastern Europe and further.
You can check distributions at www.fauna-eu.org. Or, in the case of former SSSR states, in Olsufjev’s 1977 monograph, if you can read Russian :)

found and read Olsufjev (1977) today. It turned out that this species was not registered in Ukraine, but in the Caucasus and further east.
