Notably larger than Tipula maxima. Unfortunately the data of the labels are not readable. I think that the big hand-written tag tells the name of the species, but I'm unable to interprete it with the few parts seen in the pic. Maybe somebody with more knowlegde in Tipulidae is able to interprete the name? Thanks!  |

The end of the last line of the label could be "Lw." = Hermann Loew. |

I am a layman as concerns Tipulidae. But -I lso have a very large tipulid, so that I made some search a few months ago. There is a genus of very large Tipulidae named Holorusia, its type species is H. rubiginosa, now renamed to H. hespera |

There is a genus of very large Tipulidae named Holorusia, its type species is H. rubiginosa, now renamed to H. hespera ... and Holorusia rubiginosa was described by Loew. |

Big thanks to both! Clearly it's Holorusia rubiginosa since the name writen in the tag begins with H and ends in osa  |
