Here is the link to a wikipedia photo of a couple of Bibio cf. pomonae: https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitxer:Bibio_cf_pomonae_fg01.JPG Looking at wing venation, the male has r-m vein a bit longer than Rs ("anglicus type"  Looking at wing venation, the female has r-m shorter than R1 ("hortulanus type" So is this perhaps an interspecific coupling? rafael_carbonell attached the following image:  [248.37Kb] Edited by rafael_carbonell on 29-11-2025 20:12 |

I'd rather bet on B reticulatus/varipes for this couple |

Great It would be nice somebody correcting the wikipedia entry. It would be good if someone could correct the Wikipedia entry. On the other hand, I suppose that this type of coupling (which I had never observed in diptera) does not produce fertile offspring. Thanks for the comment |

I've added a comment to the picture. Hopefully the maker of the picture improves the info.
