Tipulidae sensu lato. The short palps put it in one of the other families of crane flies if you follow the European classification (e.g. Oosterbroek). |

Hello John, considering the key of Chen W. Young. 2005, the short palps belong to the Limoniidae. Correct? Any further possibilities? Best regards, Josef |

Yes Limoniidae (but short palls could belong to Trichoceridae and cylindrotomidae too) It look like Limonia nebeculosa to me. |
