DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW TIPULID^E. 



By R. W. Doane. 



In my first article on North American Tipulidae (JouR. N. Y. Ent. 

 Soc, Vol. VIII, No. 3) a number of mistakes occurred which were 

 corrected in some of the separates sent out by me. It may be well to 

 note these corrections here. Dicranoptycha borealis, should read Lim- 

 nobia borealis ; Cryptolahis bisuuiatis should read Cryptolabis bisiiuiata ; 

 LunnopJiila flavapila should read Lininophila flavipila ; Phyllolabis 

 obscuris should read Phyllolabis obscitra ; Amalopis disphana should 

 read Amalopis diaphana ; the reference to the plate after Polyangaiis 

 maculatiis should read PI. VIII, Fig. 20, instead of PI. VII, Fig, 20. 



I am under obligations to Prof. J. M. Aldrich, Univ. of Idaho ; 

 Prof. Trevor Kincaid, Univ. of Wash.; Dr. L. O. Howard, U. S. 

 Entomologist and Curator of Insects for the National Museum, for 

 large series of Tipulidas from their respective collections ; also to Prof. 

 V. L. Kellogg, Stanford University ; Prof. Jas. Hines, Univ. of Ohio ; 

 Mr. G. Chagnon, Montreal, and to others for smaller valuable series ; 

 also to those having charge of the insect collections in the National 

 Museum and in the Museum of Comparative Zoology in Cambridge 

 for the privilege of studying the Tipulidte in these collections.
