Fauna Europaea http://www.faunaeur.org/species_list.php Lists five species two with subspecies other than the also present nominate for Portugal. I think we may be sure there are more.

An interesting QUESTION: Which is the specie of WASP very similar to this tipulidae? Any advances and some photos would be great! Thank you!

This Nephrotoma is not so common here... I never seen here in Center of Portugal, just in Nordeast yesterday... but not sure if it is really common or uncommon (in Portugal)...
