I miss documentation to identify this Limoniidae correctly. Thanks in advance for your help! (19/04/2006, France near Lyon, observed in a ditch along a road, size :10 mm) Cecile attached the following image:  [71.33Kb] |

Perhaps not far from Epiphragma. But we will have to wait for Chen Young or someone else who likes thin flies with five legs Robert |

Looks more like a Limnophila sp to me. But let us wait for Chen. |

Well, I am enjoying all these tipulids  !This looks very similar to my specimens of Limnophila (Limnophila) schranki Oosterbroek 1992 (= L. punctata (Schrank 1781)), but according to Alan Stubbs' draft key to British Limnophilinae there is at least one other similar species on the continent: Limnophila (Limnophila) arnoudi Theowald 1971, which Stubbs splits on genitalic characters.
