REPORT ON A COLLECTION OF CRANEFLIES 



(TIPULID^, DIPT.) FROM THE COLOMBIAN 



ANDES, TAKEN BY MR. JOHN 



THOMAS LLOYD. 



By Charles P. Alexander. 

 Ithaca, N. Y.i 



A rather extensive collection of craneflies taken by Mr. John 

 Thomas Lloyd on the central chain of the Andes in southwestern 

 Colombia, March. 1912, was handed to me for study. The types have 

 been deposited in the Cornell University collection, where the re- 

 mainder of the Andean insects are preserved ; certain of the paratypes 

 are in the author's cabinet. Mr. Lloyd and Dr. A. A. Allen, whose 

 bird collections have been considered in a recent paper by Frank M. 

 Chapman,- under.took this trip along the Cordillera Central in the 

 spring of 1912. The itinerary of the expedition as originally planned 

 was much more extensive, but serious illness in the party prevented 

 collecting after leaving the " Valle de las Papas." 



The collection embraces some 125 specimens referable to 22 

 species, of which 15 are herein described as new. The only pub- 

 lished paper which considers craneflies from this altitude of the Andes 

 is by von Roder, " Dipteren von der Cordilleren in Columbien."^ 



The following data regarding the localities collected in was fur- 

 nished by Mr. Lloyd and Dr. Allen.
