52 THE FLORIDA ENTOMOLOGIST 
May 22,1920. Harrison Co., Ind., 5 males, June 18, 1921; Jeffer- 
son Co., Ind., 1 male, June 11, 1921; Washtenaw Co., Mich., 1 
male, Aug. 6, 1921; 1 male, Aug. 24, 1921= 2° males, July 12; 
1922: 1 male, June 6,°1922 (T. H. Hubbell) 1, males Aus. oe 
1922 (F. M. Gaige). 
Part of the paratypes from Indiana and Iowa are placed in 
the collection of Dr. C. P. Alexander; the holotype, allotype and 
other paratypes are in the collection of the Museum of Zoology 
of the University of Michigan. 
Figured with present species are the genitalia of the males of 
D. immodesta O.S. and D. gladiator O.S. as I have identified 
these species from Osten Sacken’s descriptions and his figure 
of the male genitalia of D. gladiator. The characters shown in 
these figures are constant in the series of each of these species 
that I have before me and the differences in body markings: 
three stripes on the prescutum of gladiator, one stripe on the 
prescutum of immodesta; the mesosternum of gladiator with 
rounded brown spots between the fore and middle coxae, the 
mesosternum of immodesta unmarked, fits in each series with 
the genitalia figured. There is a slight discrepancy between the 
male genitalia figured by Osten Sacken for gladiator and that fig- 
ured for the species I am identifying as gladiator. I believe that 
this discrepancy is not greater than is to be expected when it is 
remembered that Osten Sacken drew his figure from observa- 
tions on the living insect, while the present figure is made from 
a mount cleared in KOH and drawn as seen with a compound 
microscope. 
Dicranomyia iowensis would seem, from the slight data now 
available, to be somewhat more western than immodesta or 
gladiator. Altho taken with these two species in Washtenaw 
Co., Michigan it was far less common than either. In southern 
Indiana, iowensis is far less common than gladiator but not so 
rare as tzmmodesta. However, southern Indiana has other sup- 
posedly western crane-flies, Gonomyia kansensis Al, Tipula 
flavibasis Al. and is close to the southern limits of D. immo- 
desta. In Iowa neither gladiator or immodesta were taken in 
the two localities where iowensis was common. 
The immature stages of iowensis are unknown, the adults 
have been taken in situations much like those from which gladi- 
ator and immodesta have been commonly found, moist flood 
plains of small streams, wet grassy areas near springs, and 
from grassy, slightly shaded ravines.
