Hello,

Such a long time since my last contribution on this forum... arthropa.free.fr/site/images/sm-confus.gif

Here I am again : here's some Tipulidae I found in Olmeto (Corsica, France) on 21th september 2004. Body length was 13 mm approx.

(only this picture, closer details on request)

Looks like some Nephrotoma sp. female to me.

But I don't know what criterias are needed to have any idea of the species, and... ...even don't know whether these criterias are affordable on a picture without a binocular... arthropa.free.fr/site/images/sm-oups.gif
Can anyone detail me ?...

Thanks !
