of a thick large black square barely curved dorsal plate with scattered 

 dark golden brown hairs and a fringe of golden ones on hind margin 

 1st joint of claspers large, blackish, 2nd brownish yellow, its exact shape 

 indeterminable ; a narrowly keeled ventral plate. 



Legs brownish-yellow, tibiae sometimes darker {tyj)e) : femora with 

 a moderately broad black apical ring. 



Wings uniformly pale grey; costal cell brownish yellow sti^rma 

 small, inconspicuous, brownish, restricted to outer half of marginal 

 cell. A faint darker grey spot in 2nd basal cell towards end, contiguous 

 to 5th longitudinal vein, and a similar one before middle of anal cell. 

 Halteres blackish. 



Described from two (^ ^ in the Indian Museum from Shillong, 5,.500 

 -6,400 ft. 28-viii— 5-ix-15, fype {Kemq)) ; and Shillong, 4,900 'ft.', 10 

 — 12-X-14 [Ketnp). In the second specimen the abdomen is wholly 

 moderately dark blackish-brown, and the tibiae no darker than the rest 

 of the legs. A barely perceptibly paler streak runs through the 2nd 

 basal, discal, and 2nd, 3rd and 4th posterior cells. A third ^^ comes 

 froniTura, Garo Hills, Assam, 1,400 ft., ix-17 {Mrs. Kemp) and in it the 

 faint dark spots in the 2nd basal and anal cells are absent. 



Tipula flavoides, sp. 



nov. 



(^ ?. Assam. Long, tip of nasus to tip of genitalia, ^ 



about 24, $ about 28 mm. 



Closely allied to my flava and serricornis but certainly distinct. The 

 first flagellar joint is narrow, as long as 1st scapal, the 2nd rather shorter, 

 3rd rather shorter still, all subcylindrical, barely deeper in middle, the 

 remaining joints except the last one or two distinctly convex on 

 lower sides. In serricornis the 1st flagellar joint is cylindrical, not quite 

 so long as 1st scapal, but the remaining joints (except the apical joint) 

 are subtriangidar, the upper side nearly horizontal, all well separated. 

 In flava the joints are presumably normally tipuliform (I have no speci- 

 men of it to compare). Flavoides has the palpi black, the flagellum 

 similar but slightly pale at base. The abdomen is uniformly dark 

 velvet brown on the dorsum in the (^, less dark in $ and less uniformly 

 coloured. Legs except coxae and trochanters blackish brown, verv 

 slightly pale about base of femora. The dorsal plate in the (^ geiiitalia 

 is quadrate whereas in both fiava and serricornis it is distinctly bilobed. 



Described from one ^^ and two ? ? from above Tura. Garo Hills Assain 

 3,500^3,900 ft., ix-17 {Mrs. Kemp). 



Tipula filicornis, sp. nov. 



<^' Darjihng. Extreme length 14 mm. 



Head yellowish-grey ; proboscis more brownish ; palpi pale yellow- 

 ish. ^ Antennal scape brownish-yellow ; flagellum very long and slender, 

 the joints much longer and narrower than usual in this genus ; rather 

 dark brown, verticils long and numerous. 



Thorax. — Dorsum not very dark brown grey ; two narrow paler 

 median stripes anteriorly, rather close together. " Under side very pale 

 yellowish : metanotum yellowish-grey.
