Holotype, cf, Orono, Penobscot Co., Maine, June 14, 1913 

 (Alexander) . 



Paratype, No. 1, cf , North Mt., Luzerne Co., Pa., June 11 (John- 

 son); paratype No. 2, cf, without locahty, labelled "Packard" and 

 the label "angulata = 258" in Loew's writing; this is the specimen 

 mentioned by Loew in the description of angulata. 



The type is in the collection of the author; paratype No. 1 in the 

 collection of Mr. Johnson; paratype No. 2 in the collection of the 

 Muvseum of Comparative Zoology. 



The second paratype is quite pale in color, and this maj' be due 

 to the teneral condition of the fly. 



The specific name is that of the Indian tribe formerly occupying 

 a large portion of the State of Maine. 



This species was taken in a small woodland at Orono, Maine. 

 These woods are Canadian in aspect, the main floral constituents 

 being coniferous trees, Abies, Picea, Tsuga and Thuja and the ground 

 cover of Coptis trifolia, Linncea boreaUs americana, etc. The insect 

 occurred along a small stream flowing through rather low ground 

 and supporting a very "rich crane-fly fauna. Most of the species 

 were swept from boughs of trees, fern growth, etc., or caught in 

 flight or swarming. The more conspicuous species on this day were 

 Dicranomyia pudica, D. Jucretica, D. halterata, D. pubipennis, Lim- 

 nobia solitaria, Rhypholophus 7neigeni, in small swarms, R. rubellus, 

 in very large swarms, Erioptera venusta, E. vespertina, Gonomyia 

 subcinerea, Epiphragma fasciapennis, Limnophila rufibasis, L. brevi- 

 furca, L. fuscovaria, L. quadrata, Adelphomijia minuta, Rhaphidolabis 

 flaveola, Tricyphona calcar, T. inconstans, Liogma nodicornis, Doli- 

 chopeza americana, Nephrotoma macrocera, Tipula bella and Tipula 

 (Trichotipula) oropezoides. 



Tipula angulata Loew. 



Tipula angulata Loew; Berliner Entomologische Zeitschrift, vol. 8, p. 61 



(1864). 

 Tipula decora Doane; Journal of the New York Entomological Society, 



vol. 9, p. 125 (1901). 



The synonomy as given above was decided upon after comparing 

 the description of decora with the type of angulata. In the collection 

 of Mr. Johnson there is a specimen of angtdata that is from the same 

 locality and taken by the same collector as the type of decora (male, 

 Montreal, Canada, June 11, 1909, Chagnon).
