By C. P. AT,BXANDER,Amherst, Mass.
The preceding part under this general title was published inApril, 1950 (Bull. Brooklyn Ent. Soc., 45: 4147). In this parta slight typographical error appearedwhen the galley proof wastransferredto pageproof. The last three lines on page44 shouldappearunder the genusDactylolabison the succeedingpage. Theflies herewith discussedare from Oregon, California and Arizona,as discussedunder the individual species. Except where noted tothe contrary, the types are preservedin my collection.
Tipula (Lunatipula) dido malheurensis n. subsp.
Closeto the typical form (Barton Flats, San Bernardino Mountains, California, altitude 6,300 feet, Jrly 16, 1946, collectedby
Alexander and Sperry), differing in slight detailsof coloration.
Costalborder of wing and a conspicuousseamover veins Cu and?n-cubrown ; cell M , posteriorborder of R, and basesof Anal cells
paler than the wing tip or the posteriorborder; obliterativeband at
againstits blackenedground thancord wider and more conspicuousis the casein the typical form.
In both races,the male hypopygium shows the phallosomewith
three pairs of plates; upper plate broad, at apex extendedinto apoint; longest plate bearing a sharp spine on its upper margin,
thence united to form a single prow-shapedstructure, the lower
edgewith a small erect spine. Lower pair of plateslong and slender, unequallyforked at apex, the terminal spine longer and more
theslender; baseof plate extended into a lobe. In rnalheu,rensis,
central prow-shapedstructure is more slender,with the various
spinesand points weaker. Lower plate slender,not producedinto
a conspicuouslobe at base,the two outer spinesmore nearly equalin size.
Habitat.' Oregon (Grant County).
Holotype: 3, BeechCreek Forest Camp,Malheur National Forest, altitude 4,500 feet, August 16, 1948 (C. P. Alexander). Allotopotyp€,s broken $, with the type.

Abdomenreddishbrown. Ovipositorwith the cerci horn-yellow.
Male hypopygiumwith the outer dististyle profoundly bifid, theouter arm a narrow simpleblade,the inner arm a little shorter,unequallysplit at tip, the upper point narrower and more acutethan
the lower one. Inner dististylea simpleparallel-sidedblade,its tipobtuse.
Habitat.'Arizona (CochiseCounty).
Holotype: a fragmentary 3, without wings, Ramsey Canyon,
HuachucaMountains,July 11, 1931 (L. K. Gloyd); ZoologicalMuseum,tlniversity of Michigan. Allotopotype;t, with the type.
This interestingspeciesis namedfor Mrs. L. K. Gloyd,studentof the Odonata,who collectedseveralinterestingTipulidae in thesouthwesternstatesin 1931. Although the type male is a merefragment,it is certainly conspecificwith the better preservedfemale and showsthe hypopygialcharactersthat separateit from allother regionalspecies,includingErioptera ( Ernpeda)cinereipleura

distalradial cells; malehypopygiumwith the dististylevery slender,
especiallythe spinous outer half, the surface of style virtuallysmooth; phallosomicstructure very short and cotnpact,with relatively few spinouspoints.
Male; Length about 2.5-2.6 mm.; wing 3-3.2 mm.
Rostrum and palpi brown. Antennae black throughout. Headbrownish black.
Thorax uniformly brownish black, the surfacevaguely pruinose.
Legs with the coxae and trochanters dark brown ; rernainder oflegs obscurebrownish yellow. Wings with a strong dusky tinge,
uniform from baseto apex; veins darker brown. Rows of macrotrichia in distal endsof the outer radial cells,especiallyR, and Rr.

Abdomen brownish black. Male hypopygiurrrr,r'iththe dististyleterminal in position,very slender,especiallythe spinottsouter half ;surfaceof style nearly smooth or with very vagtle indicationsof a
few scatteredtubercleson outer margin of distal half. Phallosomic
structure very short and compact, with relatively few spinotts
points. Aedeagusrelatively stout, the acttteapex blackened.
H abitat; Western Oregon.
Holotype: 3, High Heaven,Yarnhill County,May 4, \947 (Kenneth M. Fender). Paratypes: 33, Sourgrass Creek, Gunaldo
Falls, Yamliill County, M"y 17,1948 (Fender); Tierra del Mar.
Tillamook County, May 13, 1949 (Fender).
The most similar describedspeciesis Tasiocera( DasymolophiIus) subnuda(Alexander), of California,which differs particularlyin the structure of the male hypopygium,including the dististyle,phallosomicstructure and aedeagus. Both speciesare figured in
the Tipuloidea of Oregon, which should appear in press in theAmerican Midland Naturalist in due course. The present fly is
only one of the noteworthy Tipulidae discoveredin Oregon byKenneth Mark Fender, to whom our knowledgeof the Oregon species is chiefly due.
