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:

[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.

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.

Hello, Paul and Jan! Thanks for your help! Paul Beuk wrote: And I took the liberty of making all images visible, rather than showing the links.

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... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |
