 Yes, Tipulinae (in North American classifications). I do not know much of the group, but as far as I know the Tipulidae aren't very well studied in latin America. Lots of species remain undescribed and even for the described species, species boundaries are unclear.

 Probably Megistocera longipennis. Note the short, straight A2 vein.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
