Tricyphona macateei, new species. 



Antennse black; mesonotum yellowish grey, the przescutum with three 

 stripes of which the median one is divided by a capillary pale line; wings nearly 

 hyaline with a heavy dark brown and grey pattern, the mark at the origin of the 

 sector running into the costal cell; abdominal segments indistinctly banded 

 with yellowish. 



ilfa/j2.— Length 8-8.5 mm.; wing 7.8-8.6 mm. 



Rostrum and palpi dark brownish black. Antennae dark brownish black 

 throughout, the intermediate flagellar segments short-cylindrical or almost 

 rounded, the terminal segments smaller. Eyes broadly contiguous beneath, 

 widely separated above. Head small, dark grey. 



Mesonotal praescutum light yellowish gray, with three brown stripes, the 

 median stripe more or less distinctly divided by a ground vitta, this pale stripe 

 clearer behind ; scutal lobes dark. Pleura gray with indistinct blotches of darker 

 Hal teres short, pale brown, the knobs dark brown. Legs with the cox?e dull 

 yellow, the middle and posterior coxae sparsely grey pruinose; trochanters dull 

 yellow; femora brownish yellow, the tips broadly dark brown; tibiae and tarsi 

 dark brown. Wings almost hyaline with a heavy dark brown and grey pattern, 

 this including about six larger markings along the costal margin, the first sur- 

 rounding the humeral cross"vein, the second Sc2, the third the origin of the 

 sector, passing into the costal ceil, the fourth mark at the tip of Sci; small, pale 

 seams along the margin of the wing at the ends of the veins; narrow seams along 

 the cord and m. Venation: Sc2 about midlength between h and the origin of 

 the sector; Rs very strongly arcuated at origin; cell Mi shallow, its petiole 

 longer than m; m-cn obliterated by the punctiform contact of Cm and M. 



Abdominal tergites indistinctly banded with dark brown and paler yellowish 

 brown; sternites brown, the posterior half of each of the intermediate segments 

 yellow. The male hypopygium shows the moderately powerful pleurites in- 

 clined toward one another so that the tips are contiguous, the apices with 

 abundant blackened spicules.

Pa ratopotype. — cf . 



Type in the United States Biological Survey collection. 



T. macateei is readily separated from T. vernalis (O. S.) by the uniformly 

 dark antenna:^, the almost hyaline wings with the pattern larger, darker and 

 more clearly defined, the blotch at the origin of the sector including the costal 

 cell, the short cell M\ with a long petiole and other characters. This very 

 interesting new species is dedicated to its collector. Mr. W. L. McAtee. 



Tipula pendulifera, new species. 



Belongs to the cunctans group; antennal ffagellum dark brown; mesonotum 

 light grey, the praescutum with four stripes; wings with a faint yellowish tinge, 

 the stigmal region and wing-base more suffused; abdomen yellowish with a 

 broad, dark brown median stripe; male hypopygium with a long, pendulous 

 lobe at the ventral angle of each pleurite. 



Male. — Length 17 mm.; wing 18 mm.
