igii.] E. Brunetti : Oriental Tipulidae. 245 



Scutellum yellow, with brownish dorsum, deeper on posterior 

 margin ; metanotum yellow, with traces of two brownish spots. 



A hdomen brownish yellow ; a well-defined dark brown band 

 with parallel sides on posterior margins of 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th 

 segments ; less distinct on 2nd, ist segment unmarked, 7th and 

 8th much narrowed and elongate, reddish brown, blackish on 

 dorsum, 8th with distinct black band on posterior margin. Ovi- 

 positor rather small, reddish yellow, the valves shining reddish 

 brown, the lower pair much the shorter. Belly a lighter replica of 

 dorsum. 



Legs. — (Only one femur, tibia and metatarsus of fore leg, and 

 femur and tibia of one hind leg remaining.) The femora are 

 brownish yellow, rather broadly dark blackish brown at tips ; 

 tibiae dark brown, metatarsus nearly black. 



Wings yellow ; brown for a little distance at base of ist 

 basal cell ; a small brown spot over origin of 2nd vein. The 

 stigma is dark brown, the suffusion carried down the veins to the 

 discal cell, passing through it and along the posterior cross-vein 

 and the ultimate section of the 5th longitudinal vein. Tip of 

 wing a little brown along the costa. Halteres brownish yellow. 



Described from one $ in the Vienna Museum, in good 

 condition except for the damaged legs. Taken by Fruhstorfer in 

 Tonkin, Montes Mavson (2 — 3,000 ft.), in April or May. 



Pselliophora, sp. 



A male specimen of Pselliophora in the Vienna Museum, is 

 distinguished by the very long antennae, which if bent back 

 would reach the tip of the abdomen (exclusive of the genitalia). 

 The wings being broken off, it is impossible to describe it, but it 

 appears to represent an unknown species. 



It is mainly yellow, except some black at the tip of the 

 abdomen and on part of the genitalia. The legs are black,- ex- 

 cept the basal three-fourths of the femora, which are yellow, and 

 there is the usual white ring (common to all the species in one 

 section of the genus) beyond the base of all the tibiae. The 

 fragments of wings that still remain are yellowish at the base, 

 and blackish beyond. 



Long. 12 mm. The specimen comes from Samanga, Celebes, 

 taken November 1895 by Fruhstorfer. 



PRIONOTA, Wulp. 



nigriceps, Wulp, cf 9 . A single specimen of each sex from 

 Java. The cf is 16 mm. long, the 9 larger. 



N.B.— A large species of Tipula in the Indian Museum has a 

 considerable resemblance to this genus, and will be described by me 

 later.
