John got misled by the arista: there are more options for an elongated first aristomere.
This is actually the female of Entomophaga exoleta, a very rare species. It is restricted, so far, to sandy areas, is very rare, as said. I have seen material from Crete, Israel and ... a large population just 5 km. from my home !


Koutsoukos, could you please provide more info on the habitat ?
