I found this small cranefly in the Netherlands and after studying different wingdraw's i though it was a Erioptera cana. But that one only lives in America. Who can help me finding the correct name?

Thanks Jan.

This is most probably Symplecta (Symplecta) hybrida (Meigen, 1804), a species very widespread in the Holarctic and the Orient. Nice pictures were posted on Diptera-info by Dmityr Gravyushin on 26.IV.2010. For details see also the online world catalogoe of craneflies (http://nlbif.eti.uva.nl/ccw/)

Pjotr, thanks for the right name of this cranefly and for the other information.

With kind regards Jan.

The shape of the last vein will identify the subgenus <i>Symplecta</i>.
