 Hello everyone,

Gymnosoma should be correct; is a closer identification possible?

Location: Germany, Rhineland-Palatinum, 53572 Unkel, river Rhine valley, Stux hill, dry and warm habitat (grapeyards), nearby deciduous forest (oak, Fagus ...), May 28th, 2025

Thanks in advance,

Michael

 Hello Eric,

"I think" means "Gymnosoma cf. clavatum", if no one contradicts?

Thanks for determination,

Pipunculidae from Mongolia! I am looking for specialist who is committed to ID these. There will be a lot of material coming from my expeditions.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
