Wing venation is consistent with Elephantomyia, so if the rostrum is truely elongate (not quite visible in this photo because of the cropping).

Rostrum evidently not much elongated, just slightly longer than head, this organ in all described Neotropical spp. of Elephantomyia is at least half the length of body, usually longer, I think it's a Helius (s.str.)
While others can't climb, using infinite pains,
I, gravity turning to jest,
Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes,
Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
