. An annotated list of the Diptera (flies) of Oregon. Diptera. Vol. XI] COLE AND LOVETT—UST OF OREGON D1PTERA 203 Family TIPULID^E. Fig. 1. Nephrotoma erythrophrys Will. Wing and head from side. The craneflies are usually quite easily distinguished from the other diptera by the long legs and characteristic wing venation. They have a blunt snout and often very long palpi. One of the other distinguishing marks of the family is a V-shaped suture on the upper part of the thorax. A few species are wingless. The adults frequent meadows and edges of woods where there is a rank growth of vegetation and most are found near water. Many species come to lights. The larvae are aquatic or semi-aquatic and are usually root feeders and scavengers. The terrestrial larvae are com- monly known as "leather jackets" and may injure root crops. Nearly all of the species listed below were determined by Dr. C. P. Alexander; these are marked C. P. A. det. 1. Dicranomyia concinna (Will.) Hood River, VI-3 (Cole). C. P. A. det. Described as a Limnobia. 2. Dicranomyia particeps Doane Hood River, X-26 (Cole). 1908, Ent. News, XIX, p. 7. 3. Dicranomyia stigmata Doane Corvallis, IV-18. C. P. A. det. 4. Geranomyia diversa O. S. Hood River, X-30 (Cole). C. P. A. det. 5. Limnobia californica O. S. Forest Grove, IV-20 (Cole). C. P. A.
