Tipula male - Tipula -

CA-18 at Cactus Flats pullout, San Bernardino County, California, USA
June 1, 2019
Size: 14 mm

I found this adult male tipulid on the ground and collected it. I'm having a hard time getting it to subgenus via Alexander 1967 - the squama appears to have setae and I don't see macrotrichia in the wing cells, but the genitalic features are confusing me a bit.
