Yes, I know, but what's the difference with Tipula pseudovariipennis?

Yes you are right.
Tipula pseudovariipennis is quite similar with Tipula varipennis.
I used this key
https://ccw.natur..._2016a.pdf
This point 13b
- Antenna segments 1 and 2 (fig. F58) or 2 and 3 (fig. F59) lightly colored. See also F116 (=T.pseudovariipennis).
I think this specimen's segments 2 and 3 are not lightly colored but I am not sure.
Is there closer photo from antenna segments 1-3 ?

Yes, the next two segments I see are dark, although the first one is only moderate! Thanks ! I think you are right. And thanks again for the key!
