Further?

Thanks for moving it, but...
Can I move further to Genus Nephrotoma - Tiger Crane Flies?
Or you want it more safer?

… Yurika Alexander, 21 June, 2010 - 10:34pm

Nephrotoma

I agree with genus. The fly is more likely to get noticed and identified firmly to species if placed in Tipulomorpha.

I see...

Thanks:)
