1912] Nezi.' Neolropical Tipiilince ooo 



This species and the next, parishi, are members of the 

 longitarsis Mcq't group, possessing elongated antennae in the 

 cf ; costal margin of wings darkened, with the remainder of the 

 wings subhyaline, no white longitudinal stripe in under R, 

 {oleracea group, as virgo O. S., virgulata Will.); 9 ovipositor 

 with remarkably shortened valves; color of the species yellow 

 or orange with one or more subterminal abdominal segments 

 black. Here belongs longitarsis Macquart, tabida End. (Peru) 

 and appendens End. (which is certainly not a Macromastix as 

 its describer believed) from Ecuador, as well as the two new 

 species. T. aymara differs from appendens in being much 

 larger; veins not seamed with brownish and distal ends of the 

 radial cells uniformly suffused with darker. From labida, it 

 differs in wing coloration; not only the penultimate abdominal 

 segment is black, but the antepenultimate as well (and most of 

 the remaining tergites in the 9). T. longitarsis has a large 

 quadrangular brown spot in cell Mi near the cubital vein. 



Tipula parishi, sp. n. 



Small; orange; costal margin of wings dark; veins in distal portion 

 of the w-ing seamed with brown. 



& Length, 11.9 mm.; wing, 11.8 mm.; antenna;, about 8 mm. 

 Middle leg, femur, 8.0 inm.; tibia, 8.8 mm. ; tarsus, about 23 mm. 



Head: Anterior prolongation of the front brown; palpi I^rown. 

 Antenna;, two basal segments yellow; 3d dull yellow; remainder, base 

 black, tip dull yellow; on the 6th and following segments the yellow 

 color is very much reduced. Antennal segments covered with a dense 

 pale pubescence and a few long black hairs; the segments are all elongate- 

 cylindrical, the base only a trifle more enlarged than the stem. Front, 

 vertex and occiput dull brown; eyes metallic. 



Thorax: Dull brownish-yellow without distinct prsscutal stripes; 

 the scutimi, scutellum and postnotimi even darker brown. Pleurae 

 yellowish-brown, lighter ventrally, passing into the clear light yellow of 

 the coxcE. Halteres brown, stem a little paler. Legs: coxa;, trochanters 

 and femora yellow, the femora gradually becoming brownish-yellow 

 apically; tibia; and tarsi brown. Wings: Subhyaline, cells C, Sc, 

 extreme cephalic margin of R, base and tip of 1st Ri, 2d Ri and tips of 

 R-2, R3 and R5 browii, the stigmal area rather the darker. Brown seams 

 along the cord, including a large seam on the basal deflection of Cu, 

 near the fork of Cu; cross-vein m seamed with brown. Venation: Rs 

 short, arcuated, about as long as the basal deflection of Cui; R2+.i short, 

 less than Rs, about equal to R2; cross-vein r-m not reduced, about 

 one-half as long as the deflection of R4+S; fusion of Cui and M3 about as 

 long as r-m.
