Hi, this is a really large nematoceran, body approx 13-14 mm long, it's wing veination puzzles me, I found a lot of images of sciaroid wings but found no match. (Here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Bibionomorpha)
It was found in forest, NE Hungary, near a little bog in an area where a mine used to be. Can someone help?

No key at hand, but it looks similar to
Platyura (
marginata) of the Keroplatidae.

Yes, now I see it, it really looks like P marginata. Thanks!

Well, I checked the key and it really should be that species. Genitalia also fit that of
Platyura marginata.
