Corethra cinctipes Coq. 



PI. 28, fig. 1 



This species was described last year by Mr Coquillett, who had 

 received specimens several years before from Franconia N. H., and 

 also from Mt Vernon Ya. It was bred by us from larvae' taken in 

 a woodland pool at Karner May 10, 1904, adults appearing May 

 15. This species according to Mr Coquillett may be readily recog- 

 nized by its banded legs and mottled wings.

 joint, the halteres, bases of the segments of abdomen in the male, 



base and under side of femora, a broad 

 band near four fifths of their length, 

 their extreme apices, bases of tibiae 

 and a band near one fourth of their 

 length, also bases of the first three or 

 four joints of the tarsi, yellow; hairs of 

 male antennae brown, their bases yel- 

 low, those at tips of antennae almost 

 wholly yellow; thorax grayish pruinose,

 forks, on the fourth vein at the inser- 

 tion of the cross vein and also where 

 this vein forks, and on the fifth vein
