Moderate size (8 mm); black; fron- toclypeus with median pollinose stripe; pleura with gray pile; abdomen with pale grayish yellow area laterally near base, no median abdominal triangles; no apical spot or hyaline triangle (Fig. 48); crossband broad, pale, covering discal cell, generally reaching hind mar- gin of wing although very pale in this area; basal half of both basal cells infuscate, pale. In male, pale area of abdomen smaller than in female. This species is similar to C. excitam although the wing picture is distinctly paler and abdomen has no middorsal pale markings. The larvae (Fig. 86) are known from wet mud along streams and occasional- ly from pond margins (Pechuman 1972; Teskey 1969). C. cuclux is a northeastern species, extending from Georgia to Nova Sco- tia and west to Wisconsin (Fig. 123). A disjunct population has been exam- ined from northwestern Ontario. As yet this species has not been collected in Illinois although specimens ha\e been examined from southeastern Wiscon- sin and northwestern Fig. 123.—Distribution of Chrysops cuclux in North America.

Moderate size ( mm): dark brown; frontoclypeus shining vellow; no pale stripe above wing base; abdomen of- ten with narrow pale median line, rare- ly with obsolete sublateral lines: apical spot very broa
