Hello,

Is it possible to determine this male of Tipulidae ?
(Closer details available on request)

Dijon (Burgundy, France) - 18th June 2004 - Body length 18 mm - Wingspan 30 mm

The best match in my "general" books is Tipula lunata, but I'm not sure of anything...

Thanks for you help !

As is clear, we do not have a specialist in tipuloids yet. Maybe we should start a head-hunt?

I asked one of the world Tipuloidea specialist - prof.S.Podenas for a help Smile And he thinks its genus Tipula subgenus Lunatipula. For futher determination genitalia are needed.
