Very interesting.
I think subgenus is Pterelachisus.
This is maybe rare Tipula subvariipennis but I have never seen good photos from this species.
Similar more common Tipula pabulina has thorax with thin central line.
R.Heiss & Gisela Merkel-Wallner has seen one in Bayer 2007-2009.

Dear Esko,
thank you very much for your interesting statement.
I think I can see the thin line on the Thorax (see photo).
So it could be really T. pabulina.

All the best
Ingrid
