June, igiS.] ALEXANDER: New CrANE-FlIES FROM AsiA. 67 



Nippoiipula Mats. = Tipida L. 



A', mihifcra {Co<l.)=T. coqnillctti End. 



Platytipiila Mats. = Tipula L. 



Yamatotipula Mats. = Tipula L. 



Daimiotipnla Mnts. = Pedicia Lat. 



Glohericcra Mats. = Erioccra Macq. 



Gagamha Mats. = Limnophila Macq. (Eutouia v. d. W.). 



G. fakci Mats. = L. (Eutouia) satsuuia (Westvv.). 

 Formofipula Mats, may be a valid genus, and Togotipida Mats, 

 may be a valid subgenus of the genus Tipula. Ptychoptcra scutcl- 

 laris Mats, is homonymous with P. scutcllaris Meig. and. to judge 

 from the descriptions of the two species, may well be synonymous 

 with it.
