Hello! If this is Tipulidae, it was rather small, only about 12 mm. In garden at light (northwest Germany).

I think it is Tipulidae. Look at either end of the M-Cu crossvein. Cu is bent at the crossvein and M forks before the crossvein. |

Hello, John! John Carr wrote: I think it is Tipulidae. Look at either end of the M-Cu crossvein. Cu is bent at the crossvein and M forks before the crossvein. Thank you. It showed the general impression of a typical Tipulid, but it was so small, therefore I was uncertain.

This one is the same as your earlier post, a Dolichopeza (Oropeza) species in Tipulidae. Dolichopez is a group of smaller size crane fly within the family Tipulidae. |

I never noticed these smaller Tipulidae before.

Hello! I have just seen, that there are only two Dolichopeza species listed for Germany: D. nitida and D. albipes. I don't see any white leg parts (as the name albipes would suggest). Or are tibia and tarsi more light on the foreleg (lower pic; upper picture shows middle leg)? Unfortunately it is out of focus.

In D. albipes, all tarsi should be mainly white. |
