A NEW GERANOMYIA FROM THE PHIUPPINE ISLANDS 137 



physes are long and slender, reaching to beyond the middle of the outer 

 clasp-joint ; they are rugose and bear numerous long heurs, but are with- 

 out differentiated appendages. The measurements are: Outer joint of 

 claspers 19, lower gonapophyses 23. 



Length of body, without appendages, about 1.2 mm., wing 1.4 mm. 



Locality : Gasparee Island, Trinidad, August, 1913 (F. W. Urich). 



Type : Cat. No. 1 6850, U. S. Nat. Mus. 



Described from two females and one male preserved dry, and a tmle 

 and female mounted in balsam. One of the females is distended with 

 blood and shows the darker integumental coloring throughout which fol- 

 lows the taking of blood meals. 



This species agrees with Phi longipalpis Lutz and Neiva and Phi. 

 vermcarum Townsend in the long terminal joint of the peJpi ; it differs, 

 however, in a number of details and particularly in the structure of the 

 male genitalia. 



A NEW GERANOMYIA FROM THE PHILIPPINE 

 ISLANDS^ 



{Diptera, Tipulidat) 

 By CHARLES P. ALEXANDER 



In a collection of Philippine Chironomidae and Culicidae sent to Dr. 

 O. A. Johannsen by Dr. C. S. Ludlow there was included a peculiar 

 species of Geranomyia. Since this insect exhibits many structures that 

 have not been recorded hitherto in this tribe, I am describing the species 

 at this time. It will be figured in a later paper. 



The presence of a prominent fleshy horn on the vertex, a rounded 

 tubercle on the anterior margin of the mesonotal praescutum, and the 

 apparent lack of vein Scz of the wings at once separates this species off 

 as unusuaJ in the genus. I express my thanks to Dr. Johannsen amd Dr. 

 Ludlow for this material.
