NEW OR LITTLE-KNOWN CRANE-FLIES FROM JAPAN 

 (TIPULIDAE, DIPTERA) 



BY CHARLES P. ALEXANDER 



Some extensive collections of crane-flies from various parts of 

 Japan have been acquired by the writer during the past few years. 

 The most important of these was collected by Mr. R^'oichi Taka- 

 hashi in the vicinity of Tokio and in the mountainous sections 

 of the province of Saitama, about fifty miles from Tokio. Other 

 material discussed in the present paper was received from Dr. 

 T. Miyake and Dr. Akio Nohira. The writer expresses his 

 thanks to these gentlemen for this material. The types of the 

 new species are preserved in the collection of the author, para- 

 types of several of the flies being placed in the cabinet of the 

 American Entomological Society.
