Thanks for the answer.
I was thinking it but I noticed the legs are not black and the thorax does not have the same punctuation... I compared it with pics on the gallery and I'm doubting...Sad

 Limnia unguicornis/paludicola. Coremacera have a tuft of black hair on apex of flagellomere. If this one is a female (it seems to be), it is L. unguicornis.
