The species is closest to T. suhmaculata Loew., but in the 
heavy wing pattern bears a superficial resemblance to the angulata 
and subfasciata groups, from both of which the structure of the 
hypopygium will readily distinguish it. The thoracic pattern of 
suhmaculata is quite different, the median stripe being dissected 
by a very broad, pale line. 
Tipula fultonensis, sp. n. 
Arctica group; related to T. longiventris Loew., but the abdo- 
men of the female is about half an inch shorter than in the same 
sex of that species (abdomen, fultonensis, 16 mm.; longiventris 
26-27 mm.). 
Female. — Length 22 mm.; wing 18.5 mm.; abdomen 16 mm. 
Antenna; with the apical flagellar segments indistinctly bi- 
colorous. Head dull gray, the vertex with a narrow, brown line. 
Preescutum buffy with three broad, grayish brown stripes 
that are broadly margined with dark brown; thoracic interspaces 
without brown setigerous punctures; each lobe of the scutum with 
a small, anterior gray spot and a larger brownish area behind; 
postnotum gray with a narrow, brown median line. Pleura whitish 
gray pruinose. Legs with the coxa; grayish; femora dull yellow, 
the tips very pale brown; tibi* similar; tarsi brown. Wings with 
a brownish, gray pattern. 
Abdominal tergites dull brownish yellow, broadly trivittate 
with dark brown, the lateral margins of the abdominal segments 
dark brown basally, gray apically, the brown sublateral stripe 
being very sensitive on the basal portion of each segment, sternites 
grayish brown; valves of the ovipositor and the dorsal shield 
chestnut brown, the lateral margins of the valves with about ten 
acute teeth; extreme tips not divergent-

Type in the collection of the author. 
Compared with females of longiventris, the present species 
offers the following differences: thoracic dorsum buffy brown, 
rather than gray; wing pattern more brown, heavier; abdomen 
short; ovipositor and dorsal shield chestnut brown instead of 
almost black, and the tips are scarcely elongate and slightly 
divergent.
