Limoniidae: The head capsule is completely developed as in Tipulidae but it has five (black) stigmatal lobes. So the genus Ula is the only possibility. The larva of Ula lives on fungi. All other Limoniidae with five blackened stigmatal lobes have a more or less reduced headcapsule. Also Ula has very dark head.
