A NEW GERANOMYIA FROM THE PHILIPPINE 

 ISLANDS ' 



(Diplera, Tipulida) 

 By CHARLES P. ALEXANDER 



In a collection of Philippine Chironomidffi and Culicidas 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 prasscutum, and the 

 apparent lack of vein 5q of the wings at once separates this species off 

 as unusual in the genus. 1 express my thanks to Dr. Johannsen and Dr. 

 Ludlow for this material.

(^ Length, 4.5 7 mm.; rostrum, additional, 1.6-2.2 mm. Wing, 

 5.7-7.8 mm. 



Rostrum long, rather stout, dark brownish black, each lip ending in a
