Erioptera flavata is a species of crane fly in the family Limoniidae. It is found in damp forest.
E. flavata is found in most parts of Europe, including the Faroe Islands.
A crane fly is any member of the dipteran superfamily Tipuloidea, which contains the living families Cylindrotomidae, Limoniidae, Pediciidae and Tipulidae, as well as several extinct families. "Winter crane flies", members of the family Trichoceridae, are sufficiently different from the typical crane flies of Tipuloidea to be excluded from the superfamily Tipuloidea, and are placed as their sister group within Tipulomorpha.
The Tipulomorpha are an infraorder of Nematocera, containing the crane flies, a very large group, and allied families.
Limoniidae is the largest of four crane fly families, with more than 10,700 species in more than 150 genera. Some studies have suggested it to be a paraphyletic group, with some limoniids being more closely related to Tipulidae and Cylindrotomidae than to other limoniids. Limoniid crane flies can usually be distinguished by the way the wings are held at rest. Limoniids usually hold/fold the wings along the back of the body, whereas other crane flies usually hold them out at right angles. Snow flies such as Chionea scita have no wings at all. Limoniids are also usually smaller than other crane flies, with some exceptions.
The Chioneinae are a subfamily of limoniid crane flies.
Enargia is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae.
Entephria is a genus in the geometer moth family (Geometridae). There is no unambiguous common name for these moths; like many other members of their subfamily Larentiinae, they are sometimes called "carpets". The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1825.
Idmon is a genus of grass skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
Chilelimnophila is a genus of crane fly in the family Limoniidae. There is only one known species.
Erioconopa is a genus of crane fly in the family Limoniidae.
Erioptera is a genus of crane fly in the family Limoniidae.
Limonia is a genus of crane flies in the family Limoniidae. There are at least 430 described species in Limonia. It is somewhat of a 'catch-all' genus, where some members should rightly be placed elsewhere.
The Pediciidae or hairy-eyed craneflies are a family of flies closely related to true crane flies, with about 500 species worldwide.
Pedicia rivosa is a species of hairy-eyed cranefly in the family Pediciidae. It is found across most of Europe, but excluding the Iberian Peninsula. The subspecies P. r. mannheimsi is found in France and Germany, and some specimens from Scotland may also belong to this subspecies.
Tipula vernalis is a species of cranefly found in the West Palaearctic.
Schistostege decussata is a moth of the family Geometridae. It is found in south-eastern and eastern Europe up to Ukraine. In Hungary and Lower Austria, the yellow-brown form is found.
Andesobia flavata is a species of moth of the subfamily Arctiinae. It is found in Peru. Only very few specimens are known, and it is closely related to or conspecific with Andesobia boliviana. Externally, the holotype of A. flavata differs from A. boliviana only in having a slightly broader and more diffuse forewing marginal band, suggestive of minor intraspecific variation. However, the genitalic structure of the holotype reveals slight differences compared to A. flavata. Additional study material is needed to properly evaluate the status of these two taxa.
Limonia nubeculosa, also known as the short-palped cranefly, is a species of crane flies in the family of Limoniidae.
Idmon flavata is a butterfly in the family Hesperiidae. It was described by XL. Fan and M. Wang in 2007. It is found in China (Hainan).
Correbia flavata is a moth of the subfamily Arctiinae. It was described by Herbert Druce in 1909. It is found in Colombia.
Limoniini is a tribe of limoniid crane flies in the family Limoniidae. There are about 7 genera and more than 1,400 described species in Limoniini.
