6 Bergroth, On some Limnobiinae from Northern Europe. 



from R 2 to M 2 parallel, cell Rs subtruncate at apex, axillar 

 vein reaching middle of posterior margin of wing, exterior 

 margin of axillar cell through a great part of its length 

 subparallel to the axillar vein. Tibiae even under a 

 compound microscope showing no trace of apical spurs. 

 Empodia present. 



As above mentioned the wing-venation is very similar 

 to that of Cladura, but the axillar vein is much longer, re- 

 aching the middle of the posterior margin of the wing (a 

 character of rare occurrence in the Tipulidae) and there is 

 no radial cross-vein. To compensate for this R 2 is some 

 distance from its base closely approximated to R t .

Opaque, sparingly pilose, somewhat more thickly and 

 longly so on the abdomen. Head cinereous, palpi blackish, 

 antennae brownish black, short in both sexes, not reaching 

 root of wings. Thorax above greyish, pleurae flavotesta- 

 ceous with a slight whitish bloom, abdomen brownish or 

 testaceous with the apical margin of the segments more or 

 less distinctly infuscated, venter often pale testaceous, 

 terebra short, recurved; the male propygium is better 

 understood by a reference to the figures than by description. 

 Legs lurid testaceous fore, tibia and tarsus of equal length.
