I photographed this Tipulidae in a meadow in the north-east of Portugal on the 8th of April of this year. I think it is a male Tipula sp. (possibly Tipula luna or T. oleracea??). Could someone please confirm the genus? I know it is very difficult to identify Tipulidae from just a photograph, but if anyone has an idea as to the species, that would be great. Thanks in advance. sarahpogue attached the following image:  [190.9Kb] Edited by sarahpogue on 11-08-2011 10:50 |

A very nice picture of Tipula (Lunatipula) selenitica Meigen, 1818, endemic to the Iberian Peninsula (see http://ip30.eti.uva.nl/ccw/ for more details on this species). Please allow usage of this picture for the CCW website (if so, please mail permission to p.oosterbroek@chello.nl). Thanks in advance. Pjotr |
