THe CrANE-FiIES oF New York — Part II 889 
Antenna elongate, a little narrower at base, at tip with three or four hyaline, seta-like papillae 
which are of various diameters and shorter than the segment, the largest of these papillae 
delicately sculptured with transverse lines. Mandible acute, curved, at about midlength 
with a blunt, flattened tooth, this with a smaller similar tooth in its axil. Maxillary blade 
very long and slender, about half length of capsule. 
Pupa.— Length: male, 13.2-15.2 mm.; female, 14-15.4 mm. 
Width, d.-s.: male, 2.1-2.2 mm.; female, 1.8-1.9 mm. 
Depth, d.-v.: male, 2.1-2.3 mm.; female, 2.2 mm. 
Young pupae very pale; soft abdomen almost white; chitinized anterior part of body very 
pale brown. Older pupae much darker, the chitinized part becoming black with a bronzy 
reflection; abdomen very dark brownish gray; breathing horns dark brown on apical half. 
Cephalic crest (Plate LV, 275) very prominent, elongate, tapering to the subacute tips; 
lobes with blunt tubercles behind, as well as four long setae on each lobe, three on dorsal 
margin and a longer one on lateral face at about midlength; viewed from in front, lobes 
separated by a broad, square or U-shaped notch; ventral part of crest produced forward 
between antennal bases as a depressed lobe bearing a stout seta on either side. Tubercle 
on antennal scape very prominent. A slightly smaller tubercle on either side of clypeus, 
with a small rounded knob cephalad of each. Labrum truncated. Labial lobes roughly 
diamond-shaped. Maxillary palpi very broad, rectangular, tips truncated. Antennal 
sheaths of male greatly elongated, enlarged at base; viewed from beneath, the swollen bases 
nearly contiguous on median line, just above and proximad of inner margin of eye, with 
scapal tubercle described above. Antenna of male exceeding wing pads, those of female 
ending just beyond wing base. Pronotal breathing horns short and stout, straight, trans- 
versely wrinkled, directed cephalad, dorsad, and laterad; when viewed from beneath, com- 
pletely concealed by large cephalic crest. Thoracic notum convex; mesonotum transversely 
wrinkled (Plate LV, 277); median lobe of mesonotal scutellum projecting dorsad and cau- 
dad as a blunt point (Plate LV, 272). Two or three setae above wing axil. Lateral angles 
of thorax subacute, with a -weak seta., Wing sheaths attaining end of second abdominal 
segment. Leg sheaths ending before caudal margin of third abdominal segment; tarsi of 
hind legs the longest, the two inner pairs ending about on a level (Plate LV, 273). 
Abdominal segments (Plate LVI, 285) divided into a basal and a posterior ring; tergites 
on posterior ring with a subterminal transverse row of spines, these varying from about thirty- 
two on segment 3 to about fourteen on segment 7; these rows of spines interrupted on dorso- 
median line; at each end of row, three long setae, and two additional groups of setae inter- 
spersed along row; two setae on either side at anterior-lateral angle of ring; tergites on basal 
ring unarmed; sternites on posterior ring with a subterminal transverse row of from twenty- 
four to thirty-two spines, with two setae at each end of row; an isolated seta on caudo- 
lateral margin, close to pleura; a group of two approximated setae near base of posterior 
ring, on either side, about at level of spiracles. Sternites on basal ring unarmed; pleurites 
on basal ring with a solitary seta at about midlength, but slightly nearer dorsal margin; 
posterior ring with two setae dorso-caudad of spiracle, and a third seta ventrad of it. Mal» 
eauda (Plate LVI, 286) very blunt, much narrower than remainder of abdomen; ventral 
lobes very blunt; dorsal lobes short, stout, ending in sharp points directed dorsad, on out+r 
face a long and a short seta; segment 8 with a dorsal trapezoid of four lobes, the posterior
