Mycomya maxima. 



Female. A specimen of this species taken in Orono, Maine, 

 June, 1910, resembles the male described on page 179 in wing 

 venation, the subcosta ending in the costa. The dorsal mark on 

 each tergite is rather narrower than in the previously described 

 specimens. I am now inclined to think that the female described 

 before is abnormal in venation. In the table given on page 169 

 this species will fall into the couplet with mendax, from which 

 it may be distinguished by its relatively longer fore metatarsus.
