Hi, this is a really large nematoceran, body approx 13-14 mm long, it's wing veination puzzles me, I found a lot of images of sciaroid wings but found no match. (Here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Bibionomorpha) It was found in forest, NE Hungary, near a little bog in an area where a mine used to be. Can someone help? pwalter attached the following image: [115.79Kb] Edited by pwalter on 25-05-2009 14:03 |

No key at hand, but it looks similar to Platyura (marginata) of the Keroplatidae.

Well, I checked the key and it really should be that species. Genitalia also fit that of Platyura marginata.
