Small sized Tipula 12.45 mm wing length, 9.5 mm body length, attracted to light, 2016, september the 3rd (Iberia: Catalonia: Girona: Beuda: 400 masl). * Following the key at Faune de France (Pierre, 1926) - Ailes presque unicolores, noirâtres, grises, jaunâtres ou roussâtres; bord antérieur parfois un peu plus foncé. - Ptérostigma plus ou moins visible, précédé ou non d'une lunule blanche assez développée, souvent réduite à une petite tache pâle à peine distincte. - RI et R2 anormales. - R2 incomplète n'allant PqS jusqu'au bord de l'aile. * Following Sttubbs and Kramer (2016) - Middle flagellar segments with one or more median bristles. - Wing with R2 short or missing. Definitely not meeting costa, even if the break is short. - Pleura yellowish, at most with light grey patches. Could this be Tipula (Mediotipula)? rafael_carbonell attached the following image:  [291.92Kb] Edited by rafael_carbonell on 27-11-2018 19:32 |

In all the drawings of ovipositors by Theowald 1978, the cerci is driven forewards, so it's not worth comparing cerci/valval lengths but reading the text instead: If we easily assume Mediotipula subgenus, then: Thorax matt with four more or less distinct stripes Cerci equidistant over a greater part of its length and with a clearly rounded tip. The first three flagellar members each clearly shorter than the first antenna member. Hypovalve base not thickened Praescutum yellowish brown frosted with brown longitudinal stripes: drives to Tipula (Mediotipula) siebkei Wing length 12.45 mm and fly period vii-ix is also concordant.
