Tipula fulvipennis is a species of true crane flies in the family Tipulidae. [1]
Widespread throughout the Palaearctic. Although T. fulvipennis is described to be a "freely aquatic" [2] organism, in addition to its favorable marsh soil environment, it can be occasionally found in shallow streams. [3]
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.
Tipulidae is a family of large crane flies in the order Diptera. There are more than 30 genera and 4,200 described species in Tipulidae, common and widespread throughout the world.
The Nematocera are a suborder of elongated flies with thin, segmented antennae and mostly aquatic larvae. This group is paraphyletic and contains all flies except for species from suborder Brachycera, which includes more commonly known species such as the housefly or the common fruit fly. The equivalent clade to Nematocera is the whole Diptera, with Brachycera as a subclade. Families in Nematocera include mosquitoes, crane flies, gnats, black flies, and multiple families commonly known as midges. The Nematocera typically have fairly long, fine, finely-jointed antennae. In many species, such as most mosquitoes, the female antennae are more or less threadlike, but the males have spectacularly plumose antennae.
Pipunculidae is a family of flies (Diptera) commonly termed big-headed flies, a reference to the large (holoptic) eyes, which cover nearly the entire head. The family is found worldwide and more than 1300 species have been described.
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.
Max Paul Riedel was a German entomologist who specialised in Diptera, especially Tipulidae and Tachinidae. He wrote "Die palaarktischen Arten der Dipteren-Gattung Tipula L." and many shorter scientific papers on Tipulidae.
Tipula is a very large insect genus in the fly family Tipulidae. The members of this genus are sometimes collectively called common crane flies. Tipula contains over 2,000 species located throughout the world.
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.
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.
Tipulinae is a subfamily of crane flies. It contains the typical crane flies from the genus Tipula.
Tipula nubeculosa is a species of cranefly. It is widespread throughout the Palaearctic, including Belgium where it can be found living in damp forest habitats. Tipula nubeculosa can reach lengths of 17-30 mm, with a wingspan of 18-23 mm. T. nubeculosa is a host species for the parasitic larvae of Admontia grandicornis.
The superfamily Trichoceroidea includes one family: Trichoceridae, or winter crane flies.
Oscheius is a genus of nematode.
Oscheius tipulae is a species of nematodes, described in association of the leatherjacket, the larva of Tipula paludosa.
Tipula monticola is a species in the family Tipulidae, in the order Diptera (flies).
Tipula hermannia is a species in the family Tipulidae, in the order Diptera ("flies").
Tipula trivittata is a species of large crane fly in the family Tipulidae.
Tipula ultima is a species of crane fly in the family Tipulidae. It was originally named Tipula flavescens by Fabricius in 1805. That name was preoccupied and Alexander proposed a new name ultima in 1915. Ultima is Latin for last; the species flies late in the year.
Tipula algonquin is a species of large crane fly in the family Tipulidae.
