Abstract.4Two species of European crane flies are newly documented from New
York based on collections from several localities during the period 2004 to 2006.
Larvae of Tipula paludosa Meigen and T. oleracea L. are injurious to turf and pasture
grasses and certain other crops in areas of previous establishment, such as British
Columbia and the Pacific Northwest (both species) and Ontario and Quebec (7.
paludosa). Initial observations on their association with turfgrass in New York are
summarized along with background information on their invasion history, biology,
and pest status. Known collection records are listed and mapped for both species.
Recognition features are discussed and photographic illustrations of key morpho-
logical features are provided to aid their differentiation from native and non-
injurious crane flies and from each other.
