Characters. Conrow and Gelhaus, 2022: 136-163 (detailed study on wing interference patterns (WIP); the study seeks to establish WIP as a stable, sexually dimorphic, species-level character across the four families of Tipuloidea and investigate generic level WIP; thirteen species of Tipuloidea were selected from museum specimens; descriptions of the WIP for each sex of each species are provided.; twelve of thirteen species imaged had WIP, which were stable and species specific while eight of those twelve had sexually dimorphic WIP; figs; see paper for details).
