Tipula, Latr., has also the antennae nearly setaceous and simple; but all the joints, except the second, are nearlycylindric ; the first is largest, the third elongate. T. oleracea, the Common Crane Fly, or Daddy Long Legs, verycommon in pastures; the larva feeds on the roots of dying plants, [and many other species]. Nephrotoma, Meig., has 19-jointed antenna; in the males, and fifteen joints in the females, the third and followingbeing arched. Ptychoptcra, Meig., has simple sub-setaceous antennae, 16-jointed; the third much longer than the others, andthe following oblong. In the following, the terminal joint of the
