What kind of crane fly has a proboscis and stigma shown?

Moved

It is

 
Thanks, Chen
Now, why does this species have a proboscis? Are you going to be develpoing a guide page?

 
Please
check here for the time being regarding the elongated mouth (scroll down to see the three genera with elongated mouth) parts found in crane flies. Updating on the BugGuide is in working but will take some time. - Chen

 
Impressive
A most informative and clearly illustrative webpage. I had not been able to find anything more than generalist crane fly information. I appreciate and applaud your efforts.
