Hello dipteropeoples. I think this is Cylindrotoma distinctissima but I'm not really sure about the wing venation. Found dead at a window in my home in Hasselt, Belgium on 03-09-2010. Size 10mm. Thanks for watching. Don Micro attached the following image:  [57.4Kb] Edited by Don Micro on 04-09-2010 06:53 Kim Windmolders |

R1 ends in R2-3, that's diagnostic for Cylindrotomidae. C. distinctissiima has 4 veins coming out distally from the discal cell. My guess is Diogma glabrata. Check Stubbs's draft key: http://radon.uio.no/http/Louis/craneflies/Cylindrotomidae.pdf but maybe there are species present in Belgium than in the UK. |

Thanks Nielsyese, Nephrotoma is indeed a better choice.

Thanks for the key Louis. In Stubbs' TIPULIDAE key to the genera it says: Antennal flagellar segments with a basal whorl of bristles regarding Nephrotoma so Nephrotoma it is... I should check my literature better before posting....

Did you start with the Famlilies key? http://radon.uio.no/http/Louis/craneflies/Cranefly%20Families.pdf |

Now that helped!  Now I key out to Diogma glabrata as well. To be sure I took my tattered specimen again and looked for the black spot under the eye and it is obvious. Thanks very much Louis.
