LIMNOBIA, Meig. 



costalis, W. East India. No sex stated. This is probably 

 a good species but may not be a true Limnohia. The type still ex- 

 ists in the Copenhagen Museum, marked " Ind. or." and is in 

 rather bad condition. The wings are intact but the sex is indeter- 

 minable, as the tip of the abdomen is gone. My thanks are due to 

 Prof. Lundbeck for the above information. 



apicalis, W., &. Sumatra. Of this species nothing re- 

 mains of the type but the thorax and wings. In the Winthem 

 collection at Vienna Museum. As stated just previously I am in- 

 clined to think this species identical with Dicranomyia saltans, Dol. 

 {v. D. saltans). 



bibula, VV., $ . China. Osten vSacken says it is probably 

 a true Limnohia. It may possibly be identical with a species in 

 the Indian Museum. 



(L. ?) aterrima, Wlk , $ . East India. The type is not 

 to be found in the British Museum, but Osten Sacken thought it 

 might be an Eriocera. From this opinion it is almost certainly not 

 a Limnohia. 



infixa, Wlk., a'. Papua. The type (the only specimen 

 known, apparently) is in the British Museum, and though now in 

 too bad condition for comparison, it was identified as a true 

 Limnohia by Osten Sacken years ago. 



sanguinea, Dol, Java, Of this species there is no informa- 

 tion available beyond the original descriptions. The whereabouts 

 of the type is unknown. No sex is stated but from the figure 

 it appears to be a & . 



N.B. — I have in MS. the descriptions of nearly a dozen new 

 species from India. 



CERATOSTEPHANUS, mihi, gen. 



nov. 



General appearance and structure identical with Limnohia, 

 Mg., and Dicranomyia, Steph. Venation as in Limnohia, except 

 that the auxiliary vein, ending a little beyond the middle of the 

 wing, is almost exactl}^ opposite the origin of the 2nd longitudinal 

 vein, with the subcostal cross-vein at its tip. 



Eyes closely touching on upper side for the whole distance from 

 the vertex, also contiguous on under side. Proboscis of moderate 

 length, palpi stout, rather long, 4-jointed, ist joint the shortest. 



The second generic character of importance is the extraordi- 

 nary appendages to the antennae. The ist scapal joint is normal, 

 moderately long, rather broader at the tip, the 2nd is large, wider 

 oval, both joints with stiff hairs. The flagellum consists of twelve 

 elongate joints, each with a pair of diverging strong long bristly 

 hairs on the upper side ; situated a little beyond the base and fur- 

 nished on the under side at about the same place with a pair of 

 large elongate conspicuous palp-like pubescent appendages. 



The legs are very thin and much lengthened.
