Hello, I have run this through the key and came up with Tipula pruinosa in the subgenus Yamatotipula. Can anyone confirm it, there is nothing at all on this site for this species. 9th May, near Lincoln UK.

Don't know the species for sure, but the image shows a form of oviposites in species of Tipula (Lunatipula) .

This is a female, I had thought the abdomen was the wrong shape for a male but I didn't know females could have a double ovipositor! It would then be either Tipula vernalis or T. fascipennis. For T. vernalis "cerci blunt", the drawing looks the correct shape in the side view but it also states "wings streaky". For T. fascipennis the cerci looks much narrower in the side view, and is "pointed". "Wings clear faint greyish with a white bar below stigma to hind margin of wing." The drawing of the cerci should make it Tipula vernalis, the rest I can't make out! The shape of the cerci should be the best clue? http://cubits.org... |
