Hello, no help, sorry, but a doubt. I saw this one and i thought M. cf. griseus http://www.insectariumvirtual.com/galeria/Limoniidae-img40180.search.html
My only reference by now is the Tipulidae book (Faune de France, 1924...). In it the only difference between this two genera is Molophilus has no hairs on the wing membrane but yes Dasymolophilus. I have no more info Sad (hope someone else) But anyway it´s a nice Limoniidae Smile
