Limoniidae, most likely Dicranomyia, but I can't rule out Limonia or close relatives. Dicranomyia is semi-aquatic, while the other genera are generally more terrestrial.

Merci Atylotus
as you invited me to see a Dicranomyia larva, I put here pictures of the cephalic

Dicranomyia, Metalimnobia or Limonia... or we stop with "Limoniinae"
