Tipula ultima is a species of crane fly in the family Tipulidae, found in Canada and the United States.[1][2] It was originally named Tipula flavescens by Fabricius in 1805. That name was preoccupied and Alexander proposed a new name ultima in 1915. Ultima is Latin for last; the species flies late in the year.
