NEW NEARCTIC CRANE FLIES (TIPULIDAE, DIPTERA). PART XVIII.

Extract

In the present article I am describing a few unusually interesting species of Tipulidae from Washington, Oregon and northern California. The Oregon material was included in extensive series sent to me by Professor Herman A. Scullen, contained in the Oregon Agrircultural Experiment Station Collection, Corvallis. The Washington and California specimens, together with one species from extreme northwestern Oregon, were included in a small but very interesting series of specimens taken by Dr. and Mrs. Henry K. Townes and kindly presented to me by the collectors. I express my indebtedness to these entomologists for this continued interest in making known the crane-fly fauna of the Vancouveran faunal area.
