Hello,
Limoniidae found on the edge of a meadow and a forest in northern France yesterday.

A female Ormosia? possible to identify the species?
Thank you,
Guénael.

A2 seems to be curved towards the posterior margin of the wing rather than straight. In that part of the key it would lead you to Rhypholophus rather than Ormosia...

Thank you Paul.
From the drawing of the thorax, it would be Rhypholophus bifurcatus ?
