Hahital. — Mozandiique. 



Holotype, $ Vallt^e du Pungoué (îuengere. tf)0()..((i. Vasse. ) 



Type in the Paris Muséum. 



Tipula mossomhicensis is close to T. joncs/ Alexander (Natal) and, wilh 

 Ihis species, formsa well-marked group or subgenus. ït is readily told from 

 T.jonpsI by the less conspicuous pubescence on the much shorler Hagel- 

 lum. the very dilîerently colored legs (^which in T. jonefti bave the femora 

 dark brownish black, ihe tibiae aliruplly whilish), and ihe darker wings 

 with fewer white streaks. The venational détails are différent in the two 

 species, especially the length of the medial crossvein which is long, wilh 

 the cell ist .U2 widest distally in 7'. joiwsi , mucli shoiter, wilh the cell 

 ist M^ widest basallv in T. iiiossamhiceiisls.
