262 Records of the Indian Maseiini. [Vol. XV, 



TIPULA, L. 



One species, praepotens, W. has been removed to his new genus 

 Clenacroscelis by Enderlein. 



The following new species have been described by Dr. de Meijere : 

 T. cincti'pes, Tijd. v. Ent. (1911) LIV, p. 64 ^, Borneo ; gedehana, I. c., 

 p. 66, $, pi. iv, 47, wing, Java ; cinereifrons, I. c, p. 68, (^, pi. iv, 48, 

 wing, Java^ ; inconspicua, I. c, p. 70, J, pi. iv, 49, wing, Java. Types 

 of first three species in Leyden Museum ; the unique type of inconsjncua 

 m Amsterdam Museum. 



He also removes to Tipula his Tanypreimia omissinervis. 



In my Fauna volume (1912) the following new species are described. 

 T. gracillima, p. 302 $, Ceylon ; princeps, p. 306 ^ 9? Kurseong ; 

 dives, p. 307 (^, Kurseong ; serricornis, p. 309 (^ $, Naini Tal ; ^jm^ 

 cherrima, p. 310 (^ '^, E. and W. Himalayas ; fuscinervis, p. 312 $,

 District ; tessellatipennis, p. 317 (^ $, Naini Tal ; marmoratipcmiis, 

 p, 319 (^, Darjiling ; quasimarmoratipennis, p. 320 ^, Darjihng, Kur- 

 seong ; griseipennis, p. 321 3^, pi. v, 15, wing ; nigrotibialis, p. 324 (^, Dar- 

 jiling ; siriatipe7inis, p. 325 $, Kurseong ; subtincta, p. 326 (^, Kur-

 Manipur ; brunnicosta, p. 332 (^ $, Simla ; tenuipes, p. 333 $, Sylhet ; 

 flavescem, p. 334 $, Cejdon ; munda, p. 336 (^ $, Mussoorie ; cincto- 

 terminalis, p. 338 $, Kurseong ; elegantida,^ p. 339 r^, Assam. The 

 types of all these species, many represented by unique specimens only, 

 are in the Indian Museum. 



Tipula marmoratipennis, Brun. 

 One $, Darjihng, 7,000 ft., lO-vi-17 {Brimelti). 



Tipula quasimarmoratipennis, Jjruu. 



Five (^ (^ and a $, all in splendid condition, from above Tura, (Jaro 

 Hills, Assam, 3,500—3,900 ft., ix-17 {Mrs. Kemp), in conjunction with 

 the three $ $ in the Indian Museum fix this species definitely as quite 

 valid, as are also my marmoratipennis, griseipennis and tessellatip)ennis, 

 all of which are represented by further specimens of each since their 

 descrijJtion. Though so closely allied the small distinctions appear 

 quite constant. 



T. Jmnalayensis varies most in this group but is easily recognised 

 by the yellow subapical femoral ring which is absent in all the others 

 with marmorated wings except elegans, of which I have seen no speci- 

 men except the original type. 



Tipula gracillima, Brun. 



Described from a single $ from Peradeniya, a second $ coming from 

 Cochin State. Four (^ ^ from Castle Rock, N. Canara District, taken 



1 Enck'ilein records it from Sumatra. 



■■' The figure of a wing attributed to elegantula in the Fauna volume is not this species, 

 nor am I able to say what species it does represent.
