Subgenus Nitidotipula subgen.n. 

 (type i)(ichyrliinoides Alex.) 



Characters much as in Nohilotipula, especially in the highly 

 polished body which is essentially as in Nephrotonia. Rs and in-cu 

 subequal, the former arcuated, not transverse, as in Nephrotoma; cell 

 Mx petiolate ; m-cu close to or beyond the fork of M. Macrotrichia 

 of veins well-developed, present on il/| and il/2. Ovipositor with 

 elongate sclerotized cerci. 



A single species is known. The group cannot be referred to 

 N ephrotonia because of the venation, nor to NoMlotipula because of 

 the nature of the ovipositor,
