Limoniidae - Chionea ♀♂ cf belgica/lutescens
eklans
Hi, this pretty little girl crossed my path in the morning (Frankenhoehe Nature Park, old deciduous forest, -1° on snow). Is it possible to confirm the species by the pilosity of the hind femora?

This morning I've found a male and two females near the place where I found the first female - on snow, 0°C.

From photos it is possible to exclude some species but for definite ID a specimen is needed. C. belgica is possible but so are others.

Check the review by Pjotr Oosterbroek and others, easy to Google.
Distribution helps as well.

Thank you very much, Theo!
I've already found the review by Pjotr Oosterbroek and other papers via Catalogue of the Craneflies and I think it could be belgica or lutescens. The other species all have specific visible characters or were not yet! found in Bavaria. I'm trying to find more photos to compare - and hopefully find more in January 2022.

Met vriendelijke groet uit het ondergesneeuwd bos in januari, Eric (op jacht naar de sneeuwmug) Wink

Hi Pentti, thanks a lot! The images show that my flies could be lutescens, too, and I must wait to find more next winter to get more details (especially male ventrally).

Greetings, Eric
