FURTHER RECORDS OF INSECTS PERSONALLY COL- 

 LECTED IN KANSAS AND COLORADO. 



By E. S. Tucker, Baton Rouge. La. 



CONSIDERABLE progress has been made in the recognition 

 of the different kinds of insects occurring in Kansas, and 

 many lists giving the names have been published in past years. 

 Hope is to be entertained that in the near future further advances 

 in systematic study of the insect fauna of the state will be sufficient 

 to warrant the publication of a catalogue of all species whose 

 identifications will have reached a comprehensive extent, inclusive 

 of those already reported. The ordinal compilation of species has 

 so far received scarcely more than preliminary attention, except in 

 regard to the Ooleoptera and Lepidoptera, in greater part. A vast 

 amount of work must be done before such a region as Kansas pre- 

 sents can be satisfactorily explored and the results made known 

 with reference to a systematic comprehension of its insect life. 



Owing to delays in the determination of some specimens per- 

 sonally collected in Kansas and Colorado, the following specific 

 records could not be included in my former lists. Opportunity 

 is now taken to present these recent results of study. 



Order DIPTERA. 



Aldrich's catalogue has been used as a guide for the arrange- 

 ment of the Diptera, except in respect to the families Chirono- 

 midse and Mycetophilidae, in which the generic positions are made 

 to conform with the system proposed by Prof. O. A. Johannsen. 



Family Tipulid.^. 

 Tipula coloradensis Doane. (Psyche, v. 18, Oct. 1911, p. 164.) Colorado, 

 Tabernash; August. One male, three females. (Types.)
