Hey As I found a Nematocera (?) Tipulid (?) adulte living in a old sample flask, I wish to honour it by giving a name (and put a link with some larvae I had already determinated in this sample) Would you please help ? The sample was pond freshwater collected in 12/2015 This adult is 1 centimeter length, and some part of its flesh is light green Here are some pictures merci Solito de Solis Edited by solito de solis on 05-02-2016 22:18 |

Hello, sorry, I am no expert. You will have to wait for the specialists. Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

Tribe Chironomini. In almost all cases, Orthocladiinae have no or short dorsal eye extensions, vein M ending closer to wingtip than R4+5, and fore basitarsus shorter than fore tibia. Chironomini, again with rare exceptions, have long dorsal eye extensions, vein M and R4+5 ending on opposite sides of wingtip, and fore basitarsus longer than tibia. Reliable identification to genus or species normally requires close inspection of male genitalia. |
