Renamed to Geranomyia sp. (genus) cnm2, because of obvious differences with Geranomyia sp. (genus) cnm1. See

I am not so sure, the wing venation doesn't appear correct for Geranomyia.

Looking at Geranomyia sp photos on the internet I see that almost all of them have a long proboscis too. Shall I "Undo" the confirmations?

Leave it as it is for now. Take a look at the venation between cnm1 and cnm2, they are not different. In the Tipulidae wing venation is diagnostic at subfamilies, tribe and genera levels.
