Tipulidae PG952394c
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. A crane fly can be identified as a member of Tipulidae by its maxillary palps, which is the pair of appendages that hang down from the front of its head. If the fourth segment (the furthest from the body) of the maxillary palp is longer than the other three combined, then it is likely to be a member of Tipulidae. There are also usually 13 segments in the antennae of large crane flies, compared to 14 or 16 in the common limoniid crane flies. The oldest fossils that can be assigned confidently to Tipulidae ''sensu stricto'' are those of the genus '' Tipunia,'' which date to the Late Jurassic. Genera These 39 genera belong to the family Tipulidae: * ''Acracantha'' Skuse, 1890 * '' Angarotipula'' Savchenko, 1961 * '' Austrotipula'' Alexander, 1920 * '' Brachypremna'' Osten Sacken, 1886 * '' Brithura' ...

Pierre André Latreille
Pierre André Latreille (; 29 November 1762 – 6 February 1833) was a French zoology, zoologist, specialising in arthropods. Having trained as a Roman Catholic priest before the French Revolution, Latreille was imprisoned, and only regained his freedom after recognising a rare beetle species he found in the prison, ''Necrobia ruficollis.'' He published his first important work, , in 1796, and was eventually employed by the . His foresighted work on arthropod systematics and Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy gained him respect and accolades, including being asked to write the volume on insects for George Cuvier's monumental work, , the only part not by Cuvier himself. Latreille was considered the foremost entomology, entomologist of his time, and was described by one of his pupils as "the prince of entomologists". Biography Early life Pierre André Latreille was born on 29 November 1762 in the town of Brive-la-Gaillarde, Brive, then in the Limousin (province), province of Limousi ...

Ctenophora (fly)
''Ctenophora'' is a genus of Tipulidae, true crane flies. The species are large (about 20 mm long, with 25-mm wingspans), shiny black craneflies with large yellow, orange, or red markings to Mimicry, mimic wasps. Males have comb-like antennae. The larvae are Detritivore, saproxylic. The species are confined to old deciduous forests, orchards, and other habitats with continuity of the presence of dying and fallen trees. ''Ctenophora'' species are important bioindicators. ''Ctenophora'' is distinguished from related genera (''Dictenidia'' Brulle, ''Phoroctenia'' Coquillett) by these characteristic combinations. The segments of the antennae of the males have two pairs of outgrowths, the lower pair longer than upper pair. The antennae of the female are distinctly 13-segmented, and often indistinctly serrated. The sides of the mesothorax bear long bristles. Sternite 8 of the female is without dentate protuberances. Species *Subgenus ''Cnemoncosis'' Günther Enderlein, Enderle ...
