Hello!

If this is Tipulidae, it was rather small, only about 12 mm. In garden at light (northwest Germany).

I think it is Tipulidae. Look at either end of the M-Cu crossvein. Cu is bent at the crossvein and M forks before the crossvein.

Thank you. It showed the general impression of a typical Tipulid, but it was so small, therefore I was uncertain.
Best regards,
Jürgen

This one is the same as your earlier post, a Dolichopeza (Oropeza) species in Tipulidae. Dolichopez is a group of smaller size crane fly within the family Tipulidae.

Many thanks! I never noticed these smaller Tipulidae before.

Hello!

I have just seen, that there are only two Dolichopeza species listed for Germany: D. nitida and D. albipes. I don't see any white leg parts (as the name albipes would suggest). Or are tibia and tarsi more light on the foreleg (lower pic; upper picture shows middle leg)? Unfortunately it is out of focus.

In D. albipes, all tarsi should be mainly white.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
