 faint, gra>'ish sheen. Halters pale, club infuscate. Legs slender, sordid yel- 

 lowish brown; pilosit>- short, grayish; coxa' and basal part of femora yellowish, 

 tarsi fuscous. Wings light gray, costal cells fuscous, stigma elongate, dark 

 brown, apical portion of wing infuscate, veins Cii and Cu2 seamed with fuscous. 

 Venation as in Limnophila terrcB-novcz** Alex.

Ilolotype. — -9, Eastern Harbour, Cape Breton Islands, July 17th, 1917. 

 (A. Ci. Huntsman). 



A very close ally of L. terrce-novce, with the description of which it agrees 

 in all points, save that the cord and cross- veins are not seamed with fuscous; 

 the Rs is longer than cell 1st Mi- — ^equal in terra-nova; — and subangulate at the 

 base, with a short stump of a vein. Cell i?2 is very narrow in its basal half, 

 whereas it widens from the base in terrce-novce. 



Tipula huntsmaniana, n. sp. 



Very similar to Tipula anguUUa Loew\ Flagellar joints of antennae bi- 

 coloured. The pale, angulate fascia incomplete, scarcely reaching the middle 

 of cell Ms; base of wing yellowish. 



Male. — Length 13 mm.; wing 13.5 mm. 



Head dull yellow; palpi yellowish brown, last joint dark brown and shorter 

 than the preceding joints rogether. Frontal prolongation and rostrunl con- 

 colorous, with a light, whitish pollinosity. Nasus short. Antennae of moderate 

 length, the three basal joints yellowish, joints three to ten yellowish, blackish 

 at the base, outer joints brown. Frontal tubercle with impressed longitudinal 

 line. Occiput with pale, yellowish- gray hairs. 



Thorax yellowish- gray, dull. Pronotum with dark, median spot. Praescutal 

 stripes darker brown, ill defined; the median stripe narrowed posteriorly with a 

 not sharply limited, median paler line, scutum dull brown, posterior border 

 paler; scuteilum and postnotum luteous, with ill-defined, median darker line. 

 Pleura yellow'ish white, subsericeous; pleuro-dorsal membrane dull yellow. 

 Halters pale, club dark brown. Legs slender, dull, yellow; pilosity very short, 

 blackish; coxa^ yellowish white, sericeous; femora and tibiae infuscate at the tip, 

 the latter a trifle longer than the metatarsus; tarsi fuscous. Wings with the 

 pattern of T. angulata, but the pale, angulate fascia becomes narrowed in cell 

 Mi a.nd does not extend beyond the middle of the latter cell. 



Basal tergites of abdomen yellow^ish, becoming yellowish brown to fuscous 

 posteriorly, with darker, median vitta; lateral margin of tergites paler. Venter 

 similar to tergum. Eighth sternite rounded. Hypopygium yellowish brown; 

 ninth tergite subquadrate with U-shaped median emargination, the lateral 

 margin of the latter ends in a sharp point. Pleural suture entire; the pleurite 

 transversely oval, the outer appendage narrow, erect, pointed, curved somewhat 

 backward, hairy; the inner appendages consist of perpendicular plates, broadly 

 rounded basally, narrowed upwardly and ending just below the free margin of 

 the ninth tergite; ninth sternite with a deep, U-shaped emargination.
