DIPTERA, ee) 
Other species, still of the same division with those in which the an- 
tenne are slender and manifestly longer than the head, are also desti- 
tute of ocelli; but the eyes are entire, and oval or round. The wings, 
distant in several, always present membranous nervures united trans- 
versely, at least in part, and closed, discoidal cells. The anterior ex- 
tremity of the head is narrowed and prolonged in the manner of a 
rostrum, and frequently exhibits a pointed projection underneath. 
The palpi are usually long. The extremity of the tibiz is spinous. 
Several of the larve live in mould, decomposed trees, &c. and 
have no distinct thorax nor false feet, but present two more appa- 
rent openings for respiration at the superior extremity of the body. 
The nymphs are naked, with two respiratory tubes near the head; 
the margin of the abdominal annuli is spinous. 
This subdivision comprises the largest species of Tipule, those 
called couturiéres, tailleurs, &c., or our Tipulaires terricoles. 
In several the wings are always extended, the antenne of the 
males are usually bearded, pectinated or serrated; the palpi are 
composed of five joints, the last of which, extremely long, seems to 
consist of several smaller ones, or to be knotted. Such are the fol- 
lowing subgenera. 
CrenopHora, Meig. 
Where the antennz are filiform, pectinated in the males, granose 
or serrated in the females. 
C. pectinicornis; Tipula pectinicornis, Fab. The abdomen 
fulvous, with black spots on the back, and yellow streaks on 
the sides; wings marked with a black spot(1). 
Pepicia, Lat. m 
Where they are almost setaceous and simple, with the two first 
joints largest and elongated, the three following ones turbinated,the 
next three globular, and the seven last slender and almost cylindri- 
cal(2).
