Hello all, This Cranefly was observed on May 26th in a damp wood (Bois de Lauzelle, Louvain la neuve, Belgium.) I have a hunch it might be a limoniidae ?? Any thoughts ? Thanks in advance Philippe Philippe moniotte attached the following image:  [184.55Kb] A beautiful hypothesis can be slain by an ugly fact. |

It look like a limonia, maybe phragmitis. Do you have a better picture of the nervation? |

I think this some Limnophilinae, perhaps Euphylidorea (dispar) or Phylidorea fulvonervosa. -Jukka Salmela |

Apparently the stigma is very faint; this character points towards P. fulvonervosa. -Jukka Salmela |
