General discussion

Apart from the wing length (a bit short) this appears to key to Tipula lateralis in Stubbs (2021).  Priory Park, Bedford.  25 April 2013.  

i keyed this fly out to be Fannia serena. anyone can confirm or deny. the fly is about 5-6mm and caught in Denmark (DANIA.NEJ) 23/7-21

In spite of the dark stigma I thought the inverted 'U' on the pleurae meant this must be Nephrotoma appendiculata.  However it was at Hexton Chalk Pit (VC 20) on 25 June 2014, which is rather late according to Stubbs (2021) (April to early June).  Posted pics on Facebook Cranefly Group page and am advised that blunt cerci rule out appendiculata, suggest analis?  Keys to that species in Stubbs but dorsal stripe on abdomen is wide (should be narrow) and location doesn't seem right.  Overnight quadrifaria has become the Facebook favo

any idea wich genera this Anthomyiidae could be, unfortunetly a female. caught in denmark 8/8-21 (DANIA.NEJ. NJ96) and about 5mm long

Is this Tipula paludosa please? Beds.

Is this a male Nephrotoma flavescens please? Beds.

hey all. i found this Siphona in my kitchen window 31/7 Denmark (DANIA.NEJ.NJ96) 

its about 5mm, and it looks like geniculata due to 4 dc after suture, and bright/light brown/yellow tegula and basicosta.

BUT ???

according to this key, it should not have longer palpi than 3rd antennal segment, but it does. could it be another species ????

 A friend sent me this picture, taken in his garden in Salisbury, Wilts, asking for confirmation of his i/d.  I am pretty sure he's right but would welcome the views of others before putting the species on the Wiltshire list.
