Well, everybody tends to overestimate size of living animals. I bet the head-to-tail distance is 18-20 mm. Anyway, also the male of autumnalis. Yes, this species is pretty variable ! Theo |

Large males of Corydalus cornutus can be 15 cm long from the tip of the 4 cm mandibles to the tip of the wings. Flies are usually reported as 2-3 times actual size. |
