Tipula fascipennis is a species of true craneflies.
Widespread throughout the West Palaearctic. [1] Flies from May to August.
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.
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.
The Pediciidae or hairy-eyed craneflies are a family of flies closely related to true crane flies, with about 500 species worldwide.
The Pediciinae are a subfamily of flies in the family Pediciidae, closely related to Tipulidae. There are about 450 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 paludosa is a species of true craneflies, family Tipulidae. It is also known as the European crane fly or the marsh crane fly. It is a pest in grasslands of Northwest Europe and has been accidentally introduced to North America.
Tipula hortorum is a species of cranefly which is widespread throughout the West Palaearctic.It is a woodland species.
Tipula lunata is a species of cranefly which is widespread throughout the Palaearctic.
Tipula lateralis is a species of true craneflies.
The Cylindrotomidae or long-bodied craneflies are a family of crane flies. More than 65 extant species in 9 genera occur worldwide. There are more than 20 extinct species.
Diogma is a genus of crane flies in the family Cylindrotomidae.
Nephrotoma scurra is a species of crane fly found in most of Europe and the East Palearctic. It should not be confused with the crane fly Pselliophora scurraAlexander, 1941, from the subfamily Ctenophorinae.
Tipula pruinosa is a species of true craneflies.
Tipula scripta is a species of cranefly.
Tipula unca is a species of cranefly.
Tipula vernalis is a species of cranefly found in the West Palaearctic.
Limonia nubeculosa, also known as the short-palped cranefly, is a species of crane flies in the family of Limoniidae.
Nephrotoma flavescens is a species of fly in the family Tipulidae. It is found in the Palearctic.
Tipula cava is a species of fly in the family Tipulidae. It is found in the Palearctic.
