ID the closest match I could find, suppose subg Yamatotipula is correct at least.
Vienna, Danube Island, late April

The green eyes and diagonal pale streak across the wing are more typical of Lunatipula.

Hm, that's true - so I just checked and in Lunatipula I could only find members with either no or only one central dark abdominal stripe on - but not one with two strong lateral stripes.
