Hello. This Limoniidae is from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I think it is a
Limnophila sp. I'm right?

Hello,
I'm no expert, but I think this is a
Tipula. There a several species here in Europe, which look exactly like this one (subgenus
Savtshenkia). How big was it?

You may be right! I thought it was a
Limoniidae because of the folded wings, but I see that there are some species of
Tipula that have them folded as well. Also, the palpus seem to coincide with
Tipulidae. It measures around 4-5 cm.
There are some
Tipula species recorded from Buenos Aires (
Tipula barretoi, T. bruchi and
T. moniliferoides). I'll see if I can find descriptions or images of any.
Thank you very much,
Lucas.
