Hello dipteropeoples.
I think this is
Cylindrotoma distinctissima but I'm not really sure about the wing venation.
Found dead at a window in my home in Hasselt, Belgium on 03-09-2010.
Size 10mm.
Thanks for watching.

Possibly an old Nephrotoma spec.?

R1 ends in R2-3, that's diagnostic for Cylindrotomidae.
C. distinctissiima has 4 veins coming out distally from the discal cell. My guess is
Diogma glabrata.
Check Stubbs's draft key:
http://radon.uio.no/http/Louis/craneflies/Cylindrotomidae.pdf
but maybe there are species present in Belgium than in the UK.

Thanks Nielsyese, Nephrotoma is indeed a better choice. :)

Thanks for the key Louis.
In Stubbs' TIPULIDAE key to the genera it says: Antennal flagellar segments with a basal whorl of bristles regarding
Nephrotoma so
Nephrotoma it is...
I should check my literature better before posting.... :|

Did you start with the Famlilies key?

Now that helped! :D
Now I key out to
Diogma glabrata as well.
To be sure I took my tattered specimen again and looked for the black spot under the eye and it is obvious.
Thanks very much Louis. :)
