I found in my garden in the Netherlands this Limoniidae at night on a UV- trap sheet. I could not find anything with this wing venation (a bit like Gonomyia, but clearly different). Also a nice genital, which should allow identification?

This is Gonomyia abbreviata https://ccw.naturalis.nl/detail_images.php?id=2046&image_id=1396&width=840#1396 Yes, very nice genitalia!
It belongs to the subgenus Prolipophleps, hence perhaps the odd venation compared to other Gonomyia spp.
