Original description Synonyms Tipula pectinicornis Linnaeus, 1758 Ctenophora pectinicornis (Linnaeus, 1758) Flabellifera pectinicornis (Linnaeus, 1758) Tipula nigrocrocea De Geer, 1778 (1776?) Tipula variegata Fabricius, 1781 (nec Linnaeus, 1758) Tipula splendor Harris, 1782 (1776?) Xiphura fulvida Bigot, 1860 (see note below) Dictenidia fulvida (Bigot, 1860) Dictenidia bimaculata fulvida (Bigot, 1860) Flabellifera fulvida (Bigot, 1860) The identity of the taxon Xiphura fulvida Bigot, 1860 is unclear and to my knowledge the types are currently not traced. Mannheims (1953) has synonymized it with Ctenophora pectinicornis, and I follow this notion here, because Mannheims was the leading Tipulidae specialist at the time. I note, however, that other authors regard Xiphura fulvida as a subspecies or synonym of Dictenidia bimaculata. In addition, the name "fulvida" has also been erroneously used for individual specimens of several other species, thus adding to the confusion.
