THE CRANE-FLIES (TIPULIDAE) OF NEW ENGLAND: 

 THIRD SUPPLEMENTARY LIST. 



BY CHARLES P. ALEXANDER. 



The basic list of Tipulidae for New England, as given in Mr. 

 Johnson's 'Diptera of New England' (Occas. Papers Boston Soc. 

 Nat. Hist. 7, no. 15: 1-326, 1925) recorded 264 species of these 

 flies from the New England states. In two supplementary lists 

 (Occas. Papers Boston Soc. Nat. Hist. 5: 169-174, 1925, and ibid. 

 5: 223-231, 1927) I have added 26 species to this total, bringing 

 the list to 290 species. In recent years further collecting has 

 produced a considerable number of additional records which are 

 given at this time and bring the list of Tipulidae to a total of 318. 

 In the present paper, I wish to record these additional forms, to 

 discuss in some detail the crane-fly fauna of Mount Mansfield, 

 highest of the Green Mountains, Vermont, and to describe three 

 novelties included in the list of additions to the list for New 

 England.
