I9II-] E. Brunetti : Oriental Tipulidae. 259 



Described from a type o» in the Pusa collection from Darjiling, 

 3— 9-vi-09 [Howletq, and type 9 in the Indian Museum from 

 Bhowali (Kumaon Dist., 5,700 ft.), July 1909, taken by Mr. A. D. 

 Imms. A specimen (subsequently broken) was seen by me from 

 Kurseong (Darjiling), 21— 29-V-06, taken by Dr. Annandale, and 

 the Vienna Museum possesses a 9 from Sumatra which may be 

 this species or a closely allied undescribed one. The markings on 

 the thorax are less distinctly outlined, the whole insect paler ,^vith 

 clearer wings.

N.B.—A very peculiar-looking species, having the appearance 

 of a very large Sciara with exceedingly long legs. Quite differ- 

 ent in general appearance from any other species of the genus 

 seen by me yet the venation and other generic characters are 

 quite normal. Quite Hkely a new genus may be required for it.
