TANYPEEMNA, gen. nov. 



Antennas remarkably short, not much longer than the head, apparently 11-jointed. Legs very long ; tarsi 

 slender, whip-lash-shaped ; venation of a Tipula, but anterior branch of the second vein still shorter than 

 usual. Male forceps not incrassate, of a simple structure. 



Tanypremna is a new genus which I propose for certain Tipulina related to Dolichopeza. 

 A detailed characterization will be published in a forthcoming paper of mine on 

 Tipulidae.

 from the discal cell have been omitted from the figure.
