Hello Tony, thank you for your help. When looking around in the internet I found a Tipula (Pterelachisus) submarmorata SCHUMMEL, 1833. Is this the same species or different from your suggestion? Best regards, Josef |

Hi Josef - I'm changing my suggestion - a more careful look at the wing venation indicates that this is a tipuline - I was "distracted" by the way that the wings were held flat over the abdomen - Tipula often (though not always) hold them out at an angle. So yes, I think Tipula submarmorata or one of its relatives more likely. (But it would be good to wait for one of the tipulid experts to have a look.  )

I am not the Tipulid expert you are hoping for but Tipula confusa is also a possibility in my opinion. A better view of the wingveinetion should bring more certainty. (Let's wait for one of the Tipulid experts to have a look. )
Best regards, Andre |
