Hello. This Limoniidae is from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I think it is a Limnophila sp. I'm right?

Hello, I'm no expert, but I think this is a Tipula. There a several species here in Europe, which look exactly like this one (subgenus Savtshenkia). How big was it?

You may be right! I thought it was a Limoniidae because of the folded wings, but I see that there are some species of Tipula that have them folded as well. Also, the palpus seem to coincide with Tipulidae. It measures around 4-5 cm. There are some Tipula species recorded from Buenos Aires (Tipula barretoi, T. bruchi and T. moniliferoides). I'll see if I can find descriptions or images of any. Thank you very much, Lucas. LRubio7 attached the following image:  [290.11Kb] Edited by LRubio7 on 05-05-2018 14:05 |
