I'm thinking quadrivittata, but it doesn't totally fit. Any ideas? |

Hi, Nice fly and good photos. It would be great if you could macerate the hypopygium in KOH and take photographs on the hypopygium immersed in ethanol or glycerol. However, this is some sg. Lunatipula, perhaps livida/circumdata or something very close to them. -Jukka Salmela |

This is almost certainly Tipula (Lunatipula) livida livida van der Wulp, 1859, unless it is a member of the livida group not know from France yet, like circumdata (see http://ip30.eti.uva.nl/ccw/ for distribution details of these species). |
