Abstract

In the present report are discussed the partial results of extensive collections of Tipuloidea that were taken in the vicinity of Gothic, Gunnison Co., Colorado, in 1934, chiefly by Mrs. Alexander and the writer. It is hoped that we will be able to make a detailed survey of the crane-flies of the entire Rocky Mountain system and the western United States and Canada, a study that will require a vast amount of work during the next several years. In 1941, in Wyoming and Colorado, very extensive series of these flies were taken that will be discussed in future parts under this general title.
