Lunatipula duplex
Identified by Chen Young. A copy of the image is on the Crane Flies of Pennsylvania page, along with a note saying that this individual is parasitized by a big-headed fly (Pipunculidae) in the genus Nephrocerus; it's an endoparasitoid inside the swollen abdomen of this female.

Image moved from subgenus Lunatipula to L. duplex page.
