THE CRANE-FiLIES oF New York — Parr II 917 
rched transverse chitinized bar. Hypopharynx about as in Molophilus. Antennae rather 
losely approximated, directed cephalad; basal segment moderately elongated, cylindrical; 
pical papilla relatively small, elongate-oval. Mandible very small, with blunt teeth; 
pical point short, blunt; ventral row of teeth about three in number, often very blunt. 
Taxilla as in Molophilus, but outer lobe with the vestiture of hairs rather longer. 
Pupa.— Length, 7.2-8.2 mm. 
Width, d.-s., 0.8-0.9 mm. 
Depth, d.-v., 1-1.1 mm. 
Head light brown; thorax anterior to declivity conspicuously darker brown; remainder 
f body light yellowish brown; breathing horns light yellow. (In fully colored individuals 
he head and the thorax with their appendages become much darker, almost black, but the 
reathing horns retain their conspicuous yellow color.) 
Head short, face tumid. Eyes of male very large, widely separated by front; eyes of 
emale smaller. Cephalic crest consisting of two prominent lobes; viewed from side, these 
obes sharply pointed and directed slightly forward, with a seta on outer ventral face before 
ips; viewed from front, lobes rounded, ending in acute tips, separated by a deep, rather 
arrow, V-shaped notch. Front between eyes narrowed toward labrum, which is rather 
harply pointed. Labial sheaths small, the lcbes contiguous with their apices truncated, 
he lateral angles obtuse or produced into a tiny lobe. Sheaths cf maxillary palpi short 
nd stout, tapering gradually to tips. Antennal sheaths moderately clongated, angulated 
t segments, ending just beyond base of wing. Pronotal breathing horns stout, expanded 
t base, almost straight and only slightly divergent, somewhat compressed, transversely 
rinkled basally; a small setiferous tubercle in front of base of breathing horn. Mesonotum 
recipitous, at crest (Plate LXVII, 359) on either side of median line with abundant tiny 
etiferous tubercles bearing long, pale hairs, these tubercles continued back along shoulder. 
ateral margin of thorax with two small setae. Wing sheaths ending before tip of second 
bdominal segment. Leg sheaths (Plate LXVII, 360) short, attaining base of fourth 
bdominal segment; tarsi of hind legs the longest, those of middle pair the shortest; fore legs 
ith femora and tibiae very short. 
Abdominal segments (Plate LX VII, 361) divided into two annuli by a constriction near 
idlength, the anterior ring very indistinctly subdivided further into two lesser annulets; on 
egments 4 to 7, before caudal margin of posterior ring on both dorsum and sternum, a trans- 
erse row of small, conspicuous, blackened, sctiferous tubercles, which are more distant 
rom one another near ends of rows; on basal abdominal segments these tubercles less evident 
ut still present. Pleura with small but probably non-functional spiracles, which are very 
indistinct in young pupae but are more evident in fully colored individuals; these spiracles 
ocated near base of posterior ring. Setae on abdomen as follows: on sternal segments, 
ne seta just caudad of end of row of spicules, a second at lateral end of this row, inter- 
mixed with spicules, two on posterior ring on a level with spicules; on tergal segments, a 
strong seta on a line with spiracles, another seta below end of row of spicules; on pleura, one 
eta just ventrad of spiracles, and two post-spiracular and one ante-spiracular setae. Male 
cauda (Plate LXVII, 362 and 363) with ventral lobes obliquely truncated, blunt at tips, 
rojecting beyond level of subacute dorsal lobes; dorsal lobes slender, slightly divergent 
pically, blackened before tips and with two setae at tips on outer face; at base of cauda,
