A new Interpretation of the Wing-venation of the 

 Pediciine Crane-flies (Tipulidae, Diptera). 



By CIIAS. P. ALEXANDER, University of Kansas, Lawrence, 



Kans. 



(Plate XII.) 



Since the appearance of Needham's exhaustive work on the 

 wing-venation of crane-flies* there has been a tremendous in- 

 crease in our knowledge of the group, the number of new 

 species described in the past decade being far more than half 

 of all those discovered in the preceding century and a half. 

 These novelties have included many interesting new types 

 that give us additional and suggestive data on some of the 

 critical points of venation. In other papers I have shown the 

 probable true interpretation of the Cylindvotominae and in
