ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE 



The larvae of some species of crane-flies, almost all belonging to the 

 genera Tipula and Nephrotoma, often do considerable damage to various 

 crop species, the injury being largely caused by the larvae devouring the 

 roots and thus Idlling the plants. Certain of these crane-fly species, as 

 Tipula oleracea, T. paludosa, and Nephrotoma maculata in Europe, and 

 Tipula hicornis and Nephrotoma jerruginea in America, have long been 

 known, but several others have come into prominence only within the
