Tanypodinae, probably Macropelopiini or
Anatopynia. Last revision of European species of which I am aware:
Ernst Josef Fittkau 1962, Die Tanypodinae (Diptera: Chironomidae) (Die Tribus Anatopyniini, Macropelopiini und Pentaneurini)
I'm not sure if Professor Fittkau is still working; he is still on the list of Chiromonidae workers at
http://insects.um...t_big.html.

56 years after his first taxonomic work, Fittkau is still active
