Abstract

The snow crane fly Chionea scita Walker, 1848 (Diptera: Tipuloidea: Limoniidae) is reported from Indiana for the first time based on one male adult from New Bellsville, Brown County. This represents a slight westward expansion of the geographic range of this species, with the nearest records being from southeastern Michigan and east-central Kentucky. This is the first report of the species from inside a human structure. Only one other Chionea species has been reported from Indiana.
