1918.] E. Brunetti: Oriental TipuUdae. 261 



tarsi all black, a sub-basal narrow white ring on former. Legs micro- 

 scopically pubescent. 



Wings almost equally divided into yellow and black. They can be 

 best described as yellowish with the tip broadly blackish brown from 

 costa to hind margin, the colour fiUing the 2nd submarginal, 1st, 2nd and 

 3rd posterior cells and encroaching on about half of the discal cell and a 

 little way into the 4th posterior cell. A broad median blackish-brown 

 band from the costa (where it is fainter) extending across the wng 

 to the hind margin, where it runs along the margin narrowly to the 

 base of the wing, extending also along some part of the 7th longitudinal 

 vein. Its breadth is approximately uniform and covers about the 

 middle third of the basal cells. No stigma ; halteres blackish. 



Described from a unique $ from Pollibetta, Coorg South India, 

 24-x— 16-xi-15 (Fletcher). Type presented by Mr. T. B. Fletcher to the 

 British Museum.

Genotype : C. dohrnianus, Ender., by original designation. 



Enderlein describes three new species on which he founds this genus, 

 dohrnianus {loc. cit., p. 1, $ fig. A, mng. from Sumatra) ; sikkimensis 

 {I. c, p. 4, (^, from Darjihng ; and sumatranus (l. c, p. 5, $, from Su- 

 matra). The three unique types in Stettin Zoological Museum. 



He also removes Tipida jyraeyotens, Wied. liere. The genus is cha- 

 racterised by a row of black spines on the upper side of all the femora 

 towards the tip. Alexander regarded the genus as synonymous \^ath 

 Holomsia, Loew. ; in his subsequent paper on Javan Tipuhdae he 

 recognised it as valid, but he compares the characters of the two genera 

 and with those of Tipula. 



At the moment of going to press I receive information (through the 

 kindness of Mr. T. Bainbrigge Fletcher) of the following gigantic new 

 species described by Alexander. 



rex, Alex., Insec. Insit. Menst. V, p. 21, cJ (1917). 



Two ^ ^ from Taungoo District, Burma. Type in American 

 Entomological collection, Philadelphia ; cotype in Alexander's collec- 

 tion. He claims it to be possibly the largest species of the family in the 

 world, eich wing measuring 40 mm., but the full expanse of my Tipida 

 carmichaeli is 91 mm. and is also a ^. There cannot, therefore, be much 

 difference between them and th- females of both are probably larger.
