Tanypodinae female? - Tanypus - female

Tanypodinae female? - Tanypus - Female
Alturas, Modoc County, California, USA
May 15, 2021
Size: 4.5 mm
Found at lights at night and collected. Wing pattern and veins keys to Tanypodinae and possibly tribe Macropelopini in MND, but then it doesn't make sense from there... The antennae are not plumose and I assume this is a female, although the genitalia seem odd.

Cubital fork?
Thanks John - am I seeing the wing veins wrong? I would have thought the cubital fork was pretty much "opposite" crossvein M-Cu and not distal to it, which leads away from Tanypus in the MND key?
