Hello! I am just going through my older photos checking for unidentified species. Perhaps someone can help me with these Nematocera of whom I am even unsure about the families (except the first one, which I think is genus Tipula, maybe fascipennis?). Thanks in advance for any hints! All photos were taken in Ostwestfalen/Germany on meadows near a wood or in our garden. This one was about three fourths the size of a Tipula oleracea, photo taken May-21, 2005: ![]() This is from May-24, 2004. Same species? ![]() A darker, smaller, more slender species, photographed on May-25, 2003: ![]() A rather small black and red species which visited umbellifers on August-28, 2004: ![]() ![]() And again a spring species (May-01-05) visiting milkweed flowers in our garden: ![]() ![]() Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

[image2] A darker, smaller, more slender species, photographed on May-25, 2003: I think a male of Ptychoptera (Ptychopteridae).[image3] A rather small black and red species which visited umbellifers on August-28, 2004: A species of the Keroplatidae, probably an Orfelia.[image4, image 5] And again a spring species (May-01-05) visiting milkweed flowers in our garden: I think a female of Ptychoptera (Ptychopteridae).[image6, image7] And I took the liberty of making all images visible, rather than showing the links. That makes it easier to answer the questions and (if we want) to discuss the identifications. ![]() Paul - - - - Paul Beuk on https://diptera.info |

Hi J?rgen, I totally agree with Paul concerning the Ptychopteridae. His identification will not be a surprise to you I guess, because your first Pthychoptera image is also found on "insektenfotos.de" (http://insektenfo...e)_001.jpg), where it was already identified as Ptychoptera contaminata.

I did not want to make the page unreadable due to long loading time for modem users.

Yes, that's on my own Diptera-Pics-Page (http://insektenfo...iptera.htm), but I included it there only with a 'cf.' and a '?' at the end, because that was only my own amateurish identification. Nice that I was not so wrong... :-) Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |
