Urbana, Illinois 



This i)ap('i' is tlic result of a study of u colloctioii of Evaniidae, 

 su])fiiniily Evaniiiiao, collected l)y Mr. Herl^ert S. Parish in 

 Brazil and Peru. For a detailed account of this expedition the 

 reader is referred to an article recently published on the crane- 

 flies by Dr. Charles P. Alexander.- Briefly: Mr. Parish landed on 

 the Brazilian coast, near the mouth of the Amazon, in the early 

 part of June, 1919. From there he gradually travelled up that 

 river, and several of its tributari(>s, to Yurimaguas in Peru. 

 Collections were made at various places. Twenty-six specimens 

 of Evaniinae were taken in Brazil at Igarape-Assii, Prata, Par- 

 intins, 01)idos, Flores, Teffe, and in Peru at Iquitos and Yuri- 

 maguas. Several of these places, such as Teffe (Ega of Bates), 

 and Obidos (Obydos of Bates) are of Intercast in that they were 

 among the favorite collecting gi'ounds of the great naturalist 

 Bates.
