I wish, in closing this introductory statement, to express my 

 thanks to Mr. F. W. Edwards, of the British Museum of Natural His- 

 tory, for the following information regarding Walker's South Amer- 

 ican Tipulidse: 



Limnobia calopus Walker. Types ^ 9 in very good contHtion, only one leg missing 

 from each. Osten Sacken has a note attached, "Comp. this to Limnobia armillaris 

 Wied. (0. Sack). " Certainly belongs to the genus Lecteria, but there is no cross vein 

 in the second submarginal cell. 



Limnobia reciproca Walker. Bad condition; no legs. Genus Trimicra (close to T. 

 pilipes Fabr.). 



Limnobia chrysoptcra Walker. No legs, but recognizable by -wings, easily I should 

 say. Genus Eriocera. 



Limnobia tenebrosa Walker, Good condition; genus Eriocera. 



Gonomyia variegaia Walker is a Gernnomyia. 



Gonomyia antarctica \^'alker is a Limnophila. 



Ptilogyna simpler Walker. Fair condition; genus Ozodicera, as stated by O. S. 



Tipula filigera Walker. Fair condition; certainly recognizable. I have not stud- 

 ied the Tipulinie and am not sure of the genus of this. The legs are very long and 

 slender, but the venation is like Tipula, the anterior branch of the second vein (R^) 

 being oblique. Antennse, 10-jointed? 



The other species you ask about I can not trace in our collection, so their exist- 

 ence is doubtful.
