There are three genera of long-beaked crane flies:
Limonia (Geranomyia) with palps midway along the proboscis and 12 flagellomeres
Elephantomyia with palps at the tip of the proboscis and small tibial spurs
Toxorhina with palps at the tip of the proboscis and no tibial spurs

A male Toxorhina for sure - not a step further w/o specimen, sorry...
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.
