2. Subtribe Pedicaria 

 Pedicia Latr. 

 1809. Fed Ida Latreille; Hist. Nat. C'rust. et Ins., 4:255. 



Key to Subgenera 



1. Size very large (wing, 20 mm. or more) ; wings with a dark pattern that is 



arranged as a triangle, including broad costal and cubital seams that arc 

 connected across the very oblique cord; maxillary palpi with terminal 



segment elongate (Fig. 40, B) Pedicia 



Size smaller (wing, under 18 mm., usually under 15 mm.) ; wings never with 

 a dark pattern distributed as above described ; cord transverse or nearly so 

 (Fig. 40, C, D) ; maxillary palpi with terminal segment short 2 



2. Wings with a supernumerary crossvein in cell M Nasiternella 



No supernumerary crossvein in cell M of wings Tricyphona 



Suligenus Pedicia Latreille 



The subgenus Pedicia includes three local species that are among 

 the largest and most conspicuous of our crane-flies. All are readily 

 told by the dark brown triangle on the wings, this being produced by 

 a dark costal nuirgin and a broad seam along vein Cu, cros.s-connected 

 by a similar dark seam along the unusually oblique cord. The adult 

 flies show some features that strongly suggest the subfamily Tipulinae, 

 notably the elongate maxillary palpi and the shirring of vein Cui at 

 the point of insertion of vi-cu. The flies frequent wet woods, boggy 

 areas, the shaded springy slopes of open gorges and similar situations 

 that include cold springs or saturated springy hillsides supporting a 

 mossy growth, wherein the large carnivorous larvae are to be found.
