With such long antennae and apparently hyaline wnigs it should be Heptatoma pellucens. Annyway it would be better to hear a specialist.

But Heptatoma is very different otherwise. This is a very interesting case.
Any chance you collected the specimen ? If it returns tonight, please do.

Thanks.
The pictures are somewhat misleading.

It is the male of Dasyrhamphis umbrinus.

South-eastern Europe and further.
You can check distributions at www.fauna-eu.org. Or, in the case of former SSSR states, in Olsufjev’s 1977 monograph, if you can read Russian Smile

found and read Olsufjev (1977) today. It turned out that this species was not registered in Ukraine, but in the Caucasus and further east.
