Medium size cranefly

Female, about 10mm body length. Femora orange and black, as with Tricyphona immaculata, but otherwise very different. Body black, wings no longer than body & wing venation different. I have been catching alot of craneflies of about this size most of which look fairly similar but this looks more distinctive so I'm hoping for an ID

Re: Medium size cranefly

Can't really offer much help here. Possibly Tanyptera sp. or Ctenophora sp. possibly C. pectinicornis female. Diptera.info - Photo Albums: Ctenophora pectinicornis (female) (1)

But in all reality, the best hope is that this attempt at an answer will prompt one of the fly experts to come along and correct my rough suggestions.

Re: Medium size cranefly

Thanks for the effort Geoff. I usually give up hope once a posting disappears from the front page without a response
