Yesterday, 01-05-2013, I saw many of these normal sized Craneflies in wet grasslands in La Fontoure, Saint Gilles, Indre, France. They are mostly orange, wings with dark veins and a black pterostigma. I have searched for hours, but I can't find a lookalike. I am not sure if it is a Tipulidae. It might also be something else, maybe a Limoniidae? Can anyone help me??? Thanks in advance, Tjitske Lubach http://observado....w/75650610 Female Foto's:      Male http://observado....w/75650606 Foto's:

Austrolimnophila ochracea? Please add to gallery if confirmed because there are no adults of this genus. |

Thank you very much John. So it is a Limoniidae after all. There are little photo's of the species on the internet. I hope someone can confirm it. And if the pictures are good enough I will of course upload them to this site.

Thank you very much clovis. That lookes also promissing. But I don't know much about these flies, so I couldn't tell. I am depending on experts on this forum! So I hope someone can confirm it...

Yesterday I took some pictures of the same species of craneflies in copula. It may give some extra information?

Is vein MA present near the base of the wing? That vein is present in Limnophila s. lat. but not Austrolimnophila. |

Identification with Stubbs, 1997c (PDF in http://nlbif.eti.uva.nl/ccw/) leads to Euphylidorea dispar, a species widespread in Europe. I am almost sure this is correct. Pjotr Oosterbroek |

The species is confirmed as Euphylidorea dispar, thanks to Pjotr Oosterbroek who has identified and Jaroslav Stary who has confirmed it. Thanks to you all. Tjitske Lubach |
