I'd say Lipsothrix remota (size should be quite big, wing length around 10mm)

I measured the wings: they measured exactly 10 mm.

To put it short, in Gonempeda there's a cross-vein in a position indicated by red arrow, while Lipsothrix has it where blue arrow points to. Lipsothrix is currently treated (together with Antocha) as a sister group to Limoniinae.
