Hi, I'm confused, it looks to belong in Tipula but I can't match it up with those with dark wings. I found it on 15th May 2009 in my garden near Lincoln UK. It was quite big but I can't give a size. I only got two photos, it was at a difficult angle and place. Janet blowave attached the following image:  [165.37Kb] http://cubits.org... |

Perhaps Tipula (Vestiplex) nubeculosa Meigen, 1804, but it would be better to hear the view of P. Oosterbroek  |

According to key by Stubbs, 1996b (Provisional key, downloadable from literature section of CCW at http://nlbif.eti.uva.nl/ccw/) this is Tipula (Vestiplex) hortoorum, considered a rare species by him. Try key yourself and let me know what you think. Kind regards, Pjotr Oosterbroek |

Pjotr, I tried the key but got hopelessly lost. I thought the shape of the ovipositor wasn't right for T. hortorum, the top part adjoining the abdomen reaches in a high arc in the photo of a female on your site. I posted it on the forum in the UK, a suggestion of Tipula varipennis was given. What do you think? http://www.dipter...8456#p8456 Edited by blowave on 05-06-2012 16:21 http://cubits.org... |
