 State. It ranges as far south as the southern border of White and 

 Wabash Counties. Olympus has been noted only in Lake County. All 

 the forms are on the wing during July and August, and frequent open 

 woods, meadows and prairies. The larvae feed upon the various species 

 of wild grasses and hibernate.

This curious little fly, with its long, beak-like palpi and angled fore 

 wings, once seen will ever after be recognized at first sight. It doubtless 

 inhabits all parts of the State, having been taken in six widely separated 

 counties, yet but few are found each season in any one locality. It fre- 

 quents low grounds and the vicinity of streams, and flies from June to 

 September. Food plant, hackberry.
