304 Records of the Indian Mnsevm. [Yol. XV, 



Elephantomyia is synonymous with it. As longirostris is the first noted 

 species by Loew it may be taken as the type of the genus. 



STYRINGOMYIA, Loew. 



Pycnocrepis, Ender., Zool. Jahr. XX XII, p. 57 (1912) : synonymy by Alex., Pr. 

 V. 8. Nat. Mvs. XLIV, p. 487 (1913). 



Genotype : S. venusta, Lw. (fossil, in copal) by original designa- 

 tion. 



All the known species of this genus have been recently revised by 

 Edwards. 1 In that paper he finds that in my description of what I 

 afterwards took to be his ceylonica ^ (though it was drawn up a year or 

 more before his description was publi.shed), two or more species are 

 included. The description of ceylonica, therefore, both in my Fauna 

 volume and elsewhere ^ must not be relied on. Mr. Edwards also notes 

 that my obscura is a $, not a (^ as stated. 



He describes the following species ■* : nigrofetnorota, p. 215 $, Taiping, 

 Malay States ; unique type in British Museum : formosana, 219 (^ $, 

 Formosa ; type in Dents. Ent. Mus. Berlin ; paratypes in British Mu- 

 seum : javana, 220 ^, Java ; jacohsoni, 220 (^ $, Java ; types of the 

 two latter species in Amsterdam Museum ; fryeri, 221 (^^, Peradeniya, 

 Ceylon ; type in British Museum ; hwialayana, 221 (^ $, base of 

 E. Himalayas ; ne/jjalensis, 222 q $, Nepal ; types of both species 

 in Indian Museum. 



Dr. Annandale, whilst touring the East, took a (^ and $ m cop of S. 

 crassicosta, Spies, {ceylonica Edw.) at Singgora, Siam, 27-i-16. Prof. 

 Riedel has recorded this species from Formosa. Pycnocrepis annulipes, 

 Ender. is synonymous. 



A very interesting short paper by Edwards,^ entitled " On the so- 

 called new Tipulid subfamily CeratocheiHnae, Wesche," gives the rela- 

 tionship between Styringon^yia and Ceratocheilus, and their difference 

 from Toxorhina in Osten Sacken's sense of the latter, which I herein 

 regard as Elephantmnyia, Os. Sac.^ 



TEUCHOLABIS, Os. Sac. 

 Teucholabis fenestrata, Os. Sac. 



This species shews considerable variation in the thickening of the 

 femora tips, in the coloration of the wing, which is sometimes almost 

 entirely pale brown, and in the shape of the second posterior cell, which 

 is sometimes strongly petiolate. When these three characters vary in 

 the same individual they almost give the impression of specific distinct- 

 ness and there are three such specimens in the Indian Museum from 

 Bhim Tal. These characters, however, vary individually.

2 Ceylonica has subsequently been admitted by Edwards as synonymous with 8. 

 {I diopMebia) crassicosta, Speiser.
