MAY PLIES AND MIDGES OF NEW YORK 167 



The first posterior cell and the cell within the fork of the cubitus 

 are much longer than in C. unimaculatus Lw., and the 

 latter cell is longer and broader. Hence it happens that although 

 in both species the cross-band-like spot is placed immediately 

 inside of the proximal end of the fork it occupies the middle of 

 the wing in C . unimaculatus, and is much nearer the base 

 in C. bimaculatus. The abdomen of the male ends in a 

 comparatively large and conspicuous forceps (the " hypopygium 

 maris globosum " in Sir Loew's description of C. maculatus 

 seems to indicate a different structure?) . (O. S. loc. cit.)

 sor. Xeedham. NcAv Jersey (Johnson, 1904) .
