Description
Excerpt from New or Little-Known Crane-Flies From the United States and Canada; Tipulidæ, Diptera, Vol. 2: From the Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, September, 1915; Issued November 10, 1915
The type - material was stated to have come from Massachusetts, but the only specimen now appearing in the collection is a male from New Hampshire, bearing the number 258, with the name-label in Loew''s writing. It is this specimen that is designated as the type; there is a possibility that the locality labels were later confused or that'' Loew wrote down the wrong State in his original description. There is no reason whatsoever for doubting that the specimen was before Loew at the time he drew up the description. The paler specimen mentioned in a note by Loew is not of this species, but of T. Penobscot, described later; the sex is not female, but male.
