Hi there, found this specimen in an August night on a forest edge near the city of Vienna, Austria. Could it be a member of Gnophomyia? Best, Lorin Carnifex attached the following image:  [191.58Kb] Edited by Carnifex on 08-07-2018 19:33 |

Maybe as a first step, the confirmation of the Family would already be helpful. Thanks, Lorin |

So, if Gnophomyia is confirmed, then according to Fauna Europaea only Gnophomyia viridipennis is listed for Austria. Any dissenting or affirmating vote? Thanks, Lorin |

The Fauna Europaea is incomplete for the distribution of many species (see, e.g., my small paper on Psilosoma in Austria https://drive.goo...&pli=1  ) Use the Catalogue of the Craneflies of the World by Pjotr Oosterbroek http://ccw.natura... and search for genus name and country Austria - you will find 2 species, G. lugubris and G. viridipennis. To be on the safe side, you should write a Private Message to Pjotr, he will surely help you but visits our forum only seldom.Regards, Sundew |
