Hello everyone, I have observed this Tipula and I need your help to identify it, if possible from pictures. My first hypotesis was T. pagana, but some friends pointed out it is more likely T. berteii. Could you please help me out and explain how it can be discerned as one instead of the other? Thanks! edolis attached the following image: [194.69Kb] |

Forgot to mention: Tipula was observed in Vaglio Serra AT Italy, on 21/11/2019, resting on some grass.

T.pagana is not known from Italy and has longer wings. It is most likely Tipula (Pterelachisus) berteii (Rondani, 1842)
