This flies body was 12 mm. Could genus and perhaps species be told from this picture? Photo from Norrsjön, Ångermanland, Sweden 62.53N 17.45 E 22 july 2010 Thanks for your help in advance Regards Kurt Holmqvist kurt attached the following image:  [83.92Kb] Edited by kurt on 24-02-2011 19:26 |

Yep Limoniidae, palps look just too smal for tipulid. Can't imagine it's cylindrotomidae. rob Bobby D Leprechaun on tour |

I love all these Limoniidae you are getting Kurt! It's giving me practice at keying them..  I get Limonia stigma From the keys: Yellow or yellow-brown species thorax not extra-glossy. Wings with at most 2 or 3 small dark spots by the front margin but no other markings. Abdomen yellowish. -> Top of thorax with a partial narrow median stripe. (can be absent). -> Head yellowish. Femora with only a short dark apical ring. Front of wings with at most two dark spots often tiny and inconspicuous. (the other option with 3 spots has a grey head and sub apical femora ring (or ring long extending to apex) > L. phragmitidis) That's if I haven't missed something else!

Thanks a lot for all your efforts with my Limoniidaes Janet  I will raise one or two older threads if you want to practice more keying. Kurt Holmqvist |
