suture being complete; the sclerite is covered with rather sparse 
long hairs (see pi. 48, fig. 58) ; the pleurite bears three appendages, of 
which the outermost is a long slender hook, incurved near its apex 
and here strongly chitinized; this appendage is clothed with scattered 
hairs along its ventral and outer edge and with numerous zigzag 
teeth on the inner dorsal margin (in some specimens the margin is 
quite smooth and straight) ; the tips of these long hooks in a position 
of rest, decussate. Inside of this long hook are two shorter append- 
ages, the outer being the shortest and smallest, oval, pale, the tip 
somewhat expanded, the entire appendage with numerous long pale 
hairs (see pi. 48, fig. 59) ; the innermost appendage is a long, slender, 
compressed arm with an enlarged compressed head, the cephalic or 
dorsal side heavily chitinized, black, the remainder pale. 9th 
sternite long and slender, its tip projecting far beyond the remainder 
of the hypopygium in a long point (see pi. 48, fig. 60). 
Doctor Enderlein has erected the genus Tipiilodina for this insect 
but there seems to be no sufficient reason for retaining this name. 
In the first place, the name was proposed under the mistaken suppo- 
sition that the insect was a Limnobine form. vSecondly, none of the 
characters of the genus seem to differ from those of other genera, 
although, in some respects, the insect occupies a rather intermediate 
position. The straight R^ and narrow cell 2nd A are characters 
found in many species of Tipula; the short Rs is the common char- 
acter of PacliyrTiina; the shape of the cells in the median field of the 
wing are those of Ctenacroscelis, etc. The powerful male hypopygium 
and the unusual leg-coloration may offer generic differences, but until 
the related forms (venusta Walker, inordinans Walker, cinctipes 
de Meijere, gracUlima Brunetti, patricia Brunetti, and others) are 
studied it would be decidedly premature to recognize the genus 
Tipulodina. 
The rather curious pupa of Tipula pedata has been described as 
follows by de Meijere:^ The remarkable jDupa of T. pedata found in a 
pot of stagnant water with water-plants (Salatiga, Java, January, 
van Leeuwen). The pupal skin sent to me is 34 mm. long and 4 mm. 
broad, of a blackish brown color. The very long and slender, seta- 
ceous, arcuated breathing-horns are very remarkable; they measure 
11 mm. in length, are of a blackish brown color, only the extreme 
tip which is slightly expanded is yellow; elsewhere they are almost 
uniform in diameter throughout except toward the base, where they 
are a very little enlarged. The dorsal abdominal segments bear a 
cross-row of tooth-hke projections before the caudal margin of each; 
the ventral segments are quite similar, but here the median teeth on 
the hinder segments are longer and with a pair of shoiter appendages 
before them. The tip of the abdomen likewise presents a number
