The larva differs from all others in the enormiously long, slender air tube [fig. 45] and by the broad head with prominent antennae. The latter are black at the tip and have a tuft of long hairs a little beyond the middle. The peculiar labial plate is also illustrated [fig. 44]..

Fig. 45 Air tubes and anal appendages; 1 C. territans, 2C. restuans Distribution. This species is a rather common form in New York State, likewise in New Jersey and New Hampshire, according to Messrs Smith and Dyar. The latter has also taken it in British Columbia, and it is probably widely distributed in the northern United States. Life history and habits. We have found it breeding in many places throughout the summer, and Dr Smith states that the larvae occur almost everywhere, in running or stagnant watei's, fresh or brackish, though he has not found them in real foul or salt water. Dr Dyar states that the larvae prefer cold water, and that he took the same in a cold spring some 20 feet in diameter, and that they were not found in a warm, scummy.
