 Look like Tipula varipennis, but do you have lateral and posterior pictures of hypopygium? (often usefull in Tipula Wink)

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 would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
