Allotopotype. — 9 . 



Type in the collection of the British Museum (Natural History). 



Tipula milanjensis, sp. n. 



Allied to T. zamhcziensis; general coloration bright orange-yellow; thorax 

 unmarked with darker; abdomen with a narrow, blackish subterminal ring; 

 antennai of male moderately elongated; wings nearly hyaline, iridescent, stigma 

 dark brown. 



Male.- — Length about 20 mm.; wing 19.3 mm. 



Hind leg, femur 13.8 mm.; tibia 15 mm.; metatarsus about 24 mm. 



Frontal prolongation of head moderately long, orange-yellow; nasus long; 

 mouth-parts and palpi obscure yellow. Antenna rather long, if bent backward, 

 extending about to the base of the halteres; scape orange; flagellum light brown, 

 the distal segments darker brown; segments elongate-cylindrical, the \ erticils 

 about as long as the segments that bear them. Head orange yellow. 



Mesonotum orange-yellow without distinct darker markings; scutellum and 

 postnotum paler yellow. Pleura yellow. Halteres brownish yellow, the knobs 

 dark brown. Legs with the coxae and trochanters light orange-yellow; femora 

 pale brown, the bases still paler, the tips rather broadh- blackened; tibia? dark 

 brown, the tips narrowly and indistinctly blackened; tarsi dark brownish black; 

 tarsi very long and slender; claws toothed. Wings nearly hyaline, iridescent, 

 the subcostal cell slightly darker; stigma dark brown, conspicuous; an indistinct 

 brown cloud at the deflection of R^+h and r-m, and another at the wing-margin 

 at the end of vein Cu^. Venation: Rs short, almost straight; fusion of M?, and 

 Ciii slight. 



Abdominal tergites brownish orange, the basal tergites bright orange, seg- 

 ments three to six brownish orange; a narrow, subterminal black ring, including 

 most of segment seven and segment eight with the exception of a narrow, orange- 

 brown caudal margin; hypopygium brownish orange. Male hypopygium with 

 the sclerites fused into a continuous ring as in this group of species. Ninth 

 tergite extensive, the median area produced caudad into a broad, flattened lobe, 

 the caudal margin of which is provided with a low, U-shaped notch, the lateral 

 lobes and margin quite unarmed with spinules. Outer pleural appendage 

 rather narrow, tapering to the subacute tip, pale, the surface covered with com- 

 paratively short setae; inner pleural appendage produced into an inner blade 

 that juts toward the ninth tergite, the proximal face covered with numerous 

 short hairs; the outer margin is provided with a very powerful black spine and 

 a small, apical flattened blade. Ninth sternite with a broad and profound 

 median notch, the base of this incision almost coincident with the posterior 

 margin of the eighth sternite; base of the notch broad, provided with two flat- 

 tened sheaths of long, reddish yellow bristles, their tips decussate. Eighth 

 sternite unarmed.
