RHAPHIDOLABIS, Os. Sac. 



? rimhirnide.'^. Briin.. Ber. Ind. Mus. VI, p. 288 (1911). 



Five species recently described by me belong to this genus. 



sordida, Brun., Rec. Ind. Mus. VI, p. 290 ^ $ {Cladmoides) 



(1911). Simla ; Kurseong. Types in Indian Museum.

 all the forms in the Indian Museum. 

 aperta, Brun., Fauna Brit. Ind. Dipt., p. 492 (^ {Gnophmnyia) 

 (1912). Darjiling. Edwards changes the specific name {Ann. 

 Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) XVIII, p. 254) to hrunetti, through pre- 

 occupation by Coquillet. He records a $ from Arisan, For- 

 mosa, 8,000 ft., lO-x-12 (Nitobe). 

 incompleta, id., loc. cit., p. 493 (^ {Gnophomyia) (1912). Kur- 

 seong. The types of both these species in the Indian Museum. 

 Alexander has noted that incompleta would come in Plecfro- 

 myia, Os. Sac, which is now generally considered synonymous 

 with Rhaphidolabis or at most a subgenus of it. 

 indica, Brun., Fauna Brit. Ind., p. 519 (^ $ (1912). Simla District. 

 Types in Indian Museum. 

 It must be noted that in all the above five species before me the 

 antennae contain 15 joints. Alexander, in relegating my Claduroides 

 to a synonym of Rhaphidolabis, overlooks the fact that the latter genus 

 has only 13-jointed antennae. I noted this discrepancy in referring my 

 indica and R. fascipennis to this genus. Possibly Osten Sacken was in 

 error, but this is unlikely, or possibly he wrote " antenna " in mistake 

 for " flagellum " ; and possibly Williston {Manual N. Amer. Dipt.) 

 merely copied him in the table of genera, but I have seen no correction 

 of the original statement of a 13-jointed antenna. If Rhaphidolabis 

 really has only 13-jointed antennae, Claduroides must stand as a valid 

 genus. 



TIPULODINA, Ender. 



Erected for a small group of Tipulae with white-banded legs and white 

 tarsi and referred by its author to this section. I have endeavoured 

 (p. 270) to shew they are merely Tipulae, and the species are noted 

 under that genus. 



Section LIMNOPHILINL 

 LIMNOPHILA, Macq. 



Six of my recently described species belong here.
