Hello! Is this the cranefly Ctenophora atrata (or Tanyptera atrata)?  It seems like a female cranefly, doesn't it? Thanks Edited by Xaver Frank on 01-07-2006 20:28 |

It certainly looks like Tanyptera (Tanyptera*) atrata (Linnaeus 1758) subgenus another one for the Glossary (soon) There is one other species in the genus nigricornis so perhaps. Where is it from? What is the size mm. Cheers Robert Warm weekend here in Ireland  |

Thank you, Robert! This cranefly is from Dannenberg in North Germany - southwards between Hamburg and Schwerin near the Elbe River. Its length was about 30 mm. A very nice insect! Lovely weekend, Xaver |
