Clinotanypus nervosus

I do not have a full description of this species. Your picture generally matches the photos of barcoded specimens and there is supposed to be only one species in Europe with similar wing veins and cordate fourth tarsomeres. Clinotanypus are variable in color. The common North American and African species each had four names based on intraspecific color variation.
