Trichoceridiae have * short, usually very short, A2 (half wing length in Tipulidae s.l.) * ocelli (absent in Tipulidae) * long antennae (usually shorter in Tipulidae) * somewhat different wing veins other than A2, but probably with overlap between families Most Trichoceridae fly in cold weather, while other crane flies are mostly gone after first frost. |

This is indeed Trichoceridae, Trichocera (Metatrichocera) forcipula Nielsen, 1920. It was known from Slovakia from the publication of J.Starý: Starý, J. 1997. Trichoceridae. In Chvala, M. (Ed.): Check list of Diptera (Insecta) of the Czech and Slovak Republics. Karolinum - Charles University Press, Prague p. 11.
