This one was in the same place thn the last one:yesterday at Sabi?anigo, Huesca, Aragon, Spain. In a repoblation forest of Populus nigra, near a small and contaminated river. Size: very big, about 35-40 mm. I think that it's maxima, but, can be more species in the same gropu?



Thanks

Tipula maxima?

I let it as T. maxima?

It might not be the most updated manual - it dates from 1924 - but it might be a first approach: you can get the volume of Faune de France - Tipulidae for just 5 euro, postage excluded.

Any suggestion for more literature on Tipulidae?

This manual gives three species of (Acutipula) with very maculated wings from Spain: T. repanda / T. triangulifera / T. maxima and the key distinguishes them according to the color of the antennae.

- blackish with ferrugineous at first articles --> repanda
- yellowish, a bit darker at the end --> triangulifera
- brown, a bit clearer at the base --> maxima
