Hi
I am new to this forum.
I have a few species that I need to get confirmed. So here is the first one.
Using Skartveit, 1995 I key this out to Bibio lepidus. However there is this species B. longipes, but it is not included in this key. I also wonder if this is a synonym of B. lepidus (or vice versa).
Location: Faroe Islands
Date: September
The photos show a female ( brown legs) and a male
Thanks :)

Check https://diptera.i...p?cat_id=2 if you have issues attaching images to your post

Yes obvious :)
Thanks
I think I'm making progress now:)

And the male

Lepidus = longipes.

Yours seem to be similar to longipes, indeed.

Thanks Theo

So the correct name is Bibio longipes Loew, 1864
A new species for the Faroe Islands
