male - 21mm - Berlin - early May 2018

I am hoping to at least reach a genus. Maybe i can find some keys or genitalia.
I've dissected the genitalia but it is a strange structure. I noticed a flap at the back side of this structure, so i removed this flap. I will attach photos of the terminalia and the dissected flap.

I really do not know much about Tipulidae. My Wife tried to match the wing but she was unsuccessful. She tells me that it slightly matches a few species but nothing looks exact. Thus, i wonder if Tipulidae is correct?

Thank you for your time.

edit: my Wife did alot of research on this specimen and narrowed it down to three species. I looked at Tipula peliostigma and i think that it may be correct.

Thank you, clovis.

my microscope is very nice to view through the binocular lenses but it cannot produce nice photos. I have a trinocular microscope which allows me to attach a small camera. I can connect the camera via usb to my laptop. However, the photos are awful. I am searching for a better microscope with a much nicer camera or i will study how to use a microscope lens with my dslr camera. Anyway, the parts look much nicer through the microscope.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
