T. {Schumtnelia) idei Alex. 



1928. Tipula idei Alexander; Can. Ent., GO : 55. 



Antennae more elongate than in hermannia. Male hypopygium 

 with median lobe of tergite short, depressed or nearly so, glabrous. 

 A small bifid pale lobe in notch of ninth sternite, not terminating in 

 an elongate seta, as in friendi and liennannia. $. L. 10-11.5 mm.; 

 w. 9.5-11 mm. ; antenna, 7-8.5 mm. 



(June, July) Ont., Que., southw. to higher mountains of N. H. (Presidential 

 Range), and N. Y. (Adirondacks), westw. to B. C. (Hudsonian, high Canadian). 



Subgenus Oreomyza Pokorny 

 1887. Oreomyza Pokorny ; Wien. Ent. Zeitg., 6 : 50. 



Rs of moderate length ; m-cu some distance bej^ond the fork of M 

 except in the fragilis group. Squama naked; outer branches of M 

 with macrotrichia. Tibial spur formula 1-2-2; claws (3) simple, or, 

 in all local species, with basal tooth. Male hypopygium with tergite 

 and sternite distinct. Ovipositor with slender, smooth cerci. 



Includes almost all members of the so-called "Marmoratae", hav- 

 ing the wings variously clouded and spotted with brown or gray. 

 Edwards has suggested that the name be re-instated and used to in- 

 clude those species with marmorate wings having the squama naked 

 and claws of male simple. All of our local forms have toothed claws, 

 at least on fore tarsi, and I am herewith modifying the above defini- 

 tion to include such species. In a few species, ^1+2 is atrophied. 



Key to Groups 



1. Male hypopygium elongated, cyHndrical. upturned at an angle to remainder 



of abdomen; ninth tergite long and narrow, its length exceednig twice 

 the width, the apex variously armed with blackened decurved pomts 

 that are not clearly visible from above; eighth sternite more or less 

 deeply trilobed, the margins fringed with yellow setae. Lateral praescutal 

 stripes margined anteriorly and laterally witli dark brown, tormmg 

 n-shaped areas; median stripe bordered laterally with hrovjn. .boreahs group 

 Male hypopygium not elongated, from small to very large, not upturned, 

 as above ' described ; ninth tergite usually broader than long, the apex 

 without blackened decurved points ; eighth sternite with the actual margm 

 entire or at most emarginate ; in trivittata group sometimes with accessory 

 lobes or brushes of setae. Praescutal stripes usually entire, when bordered 

 with brown, the pattern not as described and the interspaces usually 

 dotted with brown punctures and the median stripe further split by a capil- 

 lary darker line '. 



2. Basal section of Mm short to verv short, less than tlie basal section of 



il/i,,, m-cu thus joining M before level of r->ir. men less than twice 

 Rs; wing-pattern very pale, gray, variegated by white areas; cell Sc uni- 

 formly darkened, contrasting with remainder of wing; stigma brown; no 

 arcular darkening. Male hypopygium with eighth sternite simple or apex 

 merely emarginate, without accessory lobes fragiiis group
