Limnia is correct. It is male, so Limnia sp. (But beware that L. unguicornis is much more common species than L.palludicolaGrin)

Hi Nikita,

thanks for help.
after Fauna Europaea only L.unguicornis is present in Romania so even only for this reason this is most probable.
so i think this will be L.unguicornis... or only L. cf unguinornis?
