Abstract
Polypedilum (Tripodura) digitifer Townes andPolypedilum (Tripodura) griseopunctatum (Malloch) are morphologically similar species of Chironomidae. Using associated material from New York State, the adult males for both species are redescribed (adding previously ignored characters) and the mature larva and pupa are thoroughly described for the first time. Traits for distinguishing these species from each other and possibly from other Nearctic species ofPolypedilum (Tripodura) are provided.
