Moderate size (8 mm); slender gray species; frons wider than high, with narrow callus across its entire width, a velvety black spot on each side directly above callus; eyes essentially bare; first antennal segment enlarged, shining; wings gray with white maculations (Fig. 76). Male with distinctly hairy eyes but easily associated with female on char- acters of the antennae and wing. This species, with the white wing maculations, is not likely to be con- fused with any other species which may be found in Illinois. The immature stages of this species are unknown; adults have been taken frequently in sphagnum bogs, and such situations may also be a favored larval habitat. H. rara is an eastern species with several disjunct populations from east- ern Tennessee to Cape Breton Island (Fig. 154). As yet it has not been col- lected in Illinois although specimens have been examined from Fig. 153.—Distribution of Chlorotabanus crepuscularis In North America.
