Fulton County (New York) Tipulidae I. 



BY CHARLES P. ALEXANDER, Ithaca, N. Y. 



During the season of 1909, a large number of more or less 

 interesting crane-flies were collected by the writer at various 

 localities in Fulton County, N. Y. Of the great amount of ma- 

 terial collected, comparatively few specimens have been deter- 

 mined, and these are mentioned herewith. The species, 

 Erioptera dulcis O. S., Limnophila lenta O. S., Hexatoma mega- 

 cera O. S., Pachyrhina macrocera Say, Tipula trivittata Say, 

 and T. flavicans Fabr., are not recorded in Prof. Needham's 

 list of the New York crane-flies (23d Report of New York 

 State Entomologist, Bull. 124 of the State Museum). Many 

 of the species are comparatively uncommon. 



The New York Tipulidae have been sadly neglected by the 

 majority of collectors. The two most important collections 

 made in the State are those of Baron Osten Sacken and Profes- 

 sor Needham.
