Ivii, '46] ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS 71 This species has long been confused with Tipula (Lunatipnla) pleuracicula Alexander 1915 (arizonica Alexander, 1916; mono-chroma Dietz, 1919) and I am particularly indebted to Dr. Alan Stone for examining the types of my species, now in the United States National Museum, and thus settling the identity of this well-marked fly. The above names all pertain to a smaller yellow crane-fly that is allied to T. (L.) splendens Doane, 1901, having the basistyle of the male hypopygium produced into a much more slender stiletto-like point than in the present species. In an earlier report (Amer. Midi. Nat.. 30: 732; 1943) I had referred to the present fly as being pleuracicula and this name should be corrected to saxemontana.
