Macrocera (Keroplatidae). I think the genus has the longest antennae of any fungus gnat.

I don't know how to ID species. Species ID should be possible with a male on a slide. According to Soli 2000 (Manual of Palearctic Diptera) there are 59 species covered by Zaitzev 1994, Chandler 1990, Vockeroth 1976, and Stackelberg 1969.
