Thanks a lot for the name! The images looks like really identical to the mine.
I hope you don't mind if I send you more unID Tipulomorpha, I really wish to get my species files named :-) I've heard from a dipterist friend that you're the only expert in Tipulomorpha in the world!

Begining with this nice Nephrotoma:
