The recent accession of several curious new venational types in this 
tribe indicates that the vein herein held to be the radial cross-vein is 
in reality the upward deflection of Rs, which, in most species, is short 
and transverse or but slightly oblique and is fused distally with A,. 
A detailed account of this venational peculiarity may be consulted else- 
where (Alexander, 1918 d).

Pedicia is a small genus including six species, four of which are North 
\merican. The species are among the largest of the Limnobiinae, and 
vith their conspicuous brown-and-white wings attract considerable atten- 
jon. The larvae are carnivorous, living beneath moss in percolating 
yater and in cold springs (Needham, 1903 b:285-286). There are two 
gional species, both of which were originally described from Nova 
scotia by Walker. The following key divides the local species of Pedicia:
