NEW OR LITTLE-KNOWN TIPULIDAD FROM THE 
PHILIPPINES (DIPTERA) 
By CHARLES P. ALEXANDER 
Of Urbana, Illinois 
A small but very interesting collection of Philippine crane 
flies has been received from Prof. Charles Fuller Baker, of the 
College of Agriculture, University of the Philippines, and is 
discussed in this paper. Types of all unique specimens have 
been returned to Professor Baker and so indicated in the text. 
I have been permitted to retain the types of certain other species, 
but in all cases duplicate material of these are in Professor 
Baker’s collection. My sincere thanks are extended to Professor 
Baker for the privilege of studying this important collection of 
Philippine Tipulide.
