Hello all,

Seeking confirmation that this is indeed Neotanypeza sp. and maybe some extra information about it. Anyone knows a good source with keys to differentiate the 23 species from this genus?

Pictures taken in South Brazil




Thanks in advance.

Hello Miudo,

Its from the Neotropics and a Tanypezidae thus its a Neotanypeza. Searching fro 'pdf' and 'Neotanypeza' gives the following hit: http://citeseerx....p;type=pdf

Kind regards,

Thank you Ectemnius, that's a very good material

Unfortunately I don't think I can reach a conclusive ID of the species based on my poor quality pics, oh well...

A useful paper is

There's also some stuff in the book
