Dear all, Can this be Tipula varipennis. I placed this photo's last year, but now I saw on a Dutch site that someone named this Tipula varipennis. What do you think? Greetings, Shar shar attached the following image:  [101.92Kb] |

No, this one looks like Eutonia barbipes to me. |

Notice the palp is short in this crane fly which indicates species not in the family Tipulidae. I am not familiar with any website that might help you out. Check Xespok's website to see if he has any images. Or you can also take a look of the counterpart species of Eutonia in North America for comparison. |

Maybe it is Limonia (Metalimnobia) hudsonica? I saw a picture on the website: http://iz.carnegiemnh.org/cranefly/limoniinae.htm, that looks like my crane fly. gr, Shar ps. sorry I do not know how to post a hyperlink. |

I believe the size of your crane fly is much larger than Limonia (Metalimnobia) hudsonica. Here is an image of a female Eutonia barbipes for your comparison. I think they look much alike only your image is a male. |

Dear Chen, I think you are right, the crane fly was indeed much larger than 22 mm. Eutonia barbipes it will be.  gr, Shar |
