Bibio linearis Heer, 1849: 214 .

Heer (1849: 215) mentioned one specimen from “k.k. montan. Cabinet”. We could not find the type in NHMW nor GBA. It is a large female, total length 16 mm, wing length 11.7 mm. One female specimen in CNHM (CNHM 1836) is labeled as this species but does not fit Heer’s description.
