Holotype, cf, Orono, Penobscot Co., Maine, June 14, 191.3 
(Alexander) . 
Paratype, No. 1, cf, North Mt., Luzerne Co., Pa., June 11 (John- 
son); paratype No. 2, cf , without locahty, labelled "Packard" and 
the label ''angulafa = 258" in Loew's writing; this is the specimen 
mentioned by Loew in the description of augulata. 
The type is in the collection of the author; paratype No. 1 in the 
collection of Mr. Johnson; paratype No. 2 in the collection of the 
Museum of Comparative Zoology. 
The second paratype is quite i^ale in color, and this may be due 
to the teneral condition of the fly. 
The specific name is that of the Indian tribe formerly occupying 
a large portion of the State of Maine. 
This species was taken in a small woodland at Orono, Maine. 
These woods are Canadian in aspect, the main floral constituents 
being coniferous trees, Abies, Picea, Tsuga and Thuja and the ground 
cover of Coptis trifoUa, Linnma borealis americana, etc. The insect 
occurred along a small stream flowing through rather low ground 
and supporting a very rich . crane-fly fauna. Most of the species 
were swept from boughs of trees, fern growth, etc., or caught in 
flight or swarming. The more conspicuous species on this day were 
Dicranomyia pudica, D. hceretica, D. halterata, D. puhipennis, Lim- 
nobia solitaria, Rhypholophus meigeni, in small swarms, R. rubeUus, 
in very large swarms, Erioptera venusta, E. vespertina, Gonomyia 
subcinerea, Epiphragma fasciapennis, Limnophila rufibasis, L. brevi- 
furca, L. fuscovaria, L. quadrata, Adelphomyia minuta, Rhaphidolabis 
flaveola, Tricyphona calcar, T. inconstans, Liogma nodicornis, Doli- 
chopeza americana, Nephrotoma rnacrocera, Tipida bella and Tipula 
( Trichotipula) oropezoides. 
Tipula angulata Loow. 
Tipida angulala Lo(nv; Bei'linor Eiitomologische Zeitschrift, vol. 8, p. 61 
(1864). 
Tipula decora Doane; Journal of the New York Entomological Society, 
vol. 9, p. 125 (1901). 
The synonomy as given above was decided upon after comparing 
the description of decora Avith the type of angidata. In the collection 
of Mr. Johnson there is a specimen of angulata that is from the same 
locality and taken by the same collector as the type of decora (male, 
Montreal, Canada, June 11, 1909, Chagnon).
