Notes on a Small Collection of Crane-flies from Oklahoma, with Descriptions of New Species: Tipulidae-Diptera

Abstract

Among the miscellaneous insects taken by the University of Oklahoma Museum of Zoology expedition in June and July, 1926, was a small collection of crane-flies. This group, the family Tipulidae of the Diptera, has been little studied or collected in the south central and southwestern parts of the United States and the twenty species represented in this collection include some very interesting extensions of known ranges, as well as thrce species believed to be hitherto undescribed.
