I9I3-] E. Brunetti : New Diptera from the E. Himalayas. 257 



the small pale spot around the stigma is absent, but in this genus 

 a wholly reddish thorax is not rare in some species normally 

 having it partly black. 



Pselliophora gaudens, Walk. (PI. xiv, fig. 8). 



A cf from Singla is probably this species, but the wings are 

 wholly deep brown. The first seven abdominal segments are 

 bright orange, the 8th black, the lower sternite rather enlarged 

 and pronouncedly Vshaped, as though supporting the conspicuous 

 genital organs, which latter are almost bare and wholly dull black. 

 They consist of an elongate, bilobed dorsal plate and a narrow 

 '/entral stylate plate, which is apparently fused to the large obtuse 

 basal joints of the claspers The remainder of the claspers seem to 

 comprise a conical bare 2nd joint with some attendant interior 

 appendages, but the whole organ being rather closely closed an 

 exact description is impossible. 



Pselliophora compedita, W. 



One ? , Darjiling, r 000-3000 ft. Except that the marks on 

 the thorax are inconspicuous, though legible, and for its large size 

 (many species vary considerably in size), 25 mm. from tip of nasus 

 to tip of the rather short ovipositor, this specimen agrees with 

 Wiedmann's description. 



Tipula majestica, Brun. 



One or', Singla, one 9 Darjiling, 1000-3000 ft., vi-r2, one 2 

 Tindharia, 3000 ft., viii-12. The expanse of the wings is no less 

 than 90 mm. 



Tipula flava, Brun. (PI. xiv, fig. 7). 



One cf , Singla. v-13, one 9 Darjiling, 1000-3000 ft., vi-12. 

 The species was described from a single cf in the Vienna Museum, 

 from Sikkim. The 9 has not before been seen ; it is in every 

 way identical with the h except for the sexual organs. 



Tipula pulcherrima, Brun. 



Two c cf , one 9 Darjiling, 1000-3000 ft., v-13. 



Tipula carmichaeli, mihi, sp. nov. (PI. xiv, figs. 6, 9). 

 cf Darjiling District. Long. 38 mm. ; expanse of wings 91 mm. 



Head much flattened, upper side brownish yellow, fading 

 nearly to whitish at the margins, and deepening in the median 

 line to a moderately wide, distinct, dark brown band, extending 

 from nape to between the eyes. Frons small but prominent, in 

 the shape of a blunt cone, with a narrow median brown stripe 



1 See note under Ptecticus wulpii concerning protective resemblance between 

 these two species.
