Info Megistocera species; not described so far. Megistocera has two species, filipes and longipennis. M. longipennis recorded from North and Central America and the male has short antennae. Megistocera filipes filipes recorded in Africa, and Megistocera filipes fuscana from Asia and Australia. Tipulidae expert Pjotr Oosterbroek confirmed that "the colour characters of your specimens are very specific and certainly not as in filipes". God's another wonder; just photographed by me. -- Jee 03:18, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
Support I know the quality is not so good; but we've only one Tipulidae fp so far. Need to collect a specimen and hand over to local experts for further studies. -- Jee 03:18, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
Comment At the moment, this is just an OK picture of an unidentified insect. If it turns out to be the first picture of a newly discovered species, the "wow" would probably be much higher. Why not wait for it? --El Grafo (talk) 09:02, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
- Sure; this is just a funny nom. :) Jee 10:24, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
