UNDESCRIBED SPECIES OF JAPANESE CRANE-FLIES 
(TIPULIDA, DIPTERA). 
Part) Ii: 
By CHARLES P. ALEXANDER. 
The present paper is a continuation of the first part published 
under this title (Ann. Ent. Soc. Amer., vol. 12, pp. 327-348; 
1919). The material upon which this report is based was 
received from many different sources. Dr. Kuwana has sent 
material collected in various parts of Honshu by his assistant 
inspectors, Mr. Tanaka and Mr. Teranishi. Dr. Machida has 
collected numerous crane-flies in the vicinity of Tokio and near 
Tamagawa in the province of Saitama. Mr. Takeuchi sent 
an interesting series from Gifu. Mr. Kuwayama supplied a 
series of Tipuline from Hokkaido, mostly from the immediate 
vicinity of Sapporo. One additional species was included in 
extensive collections of exotic crane-flies belonging to the 
Paris Museum and sent to me for naming by Mons. Séguy. 
I express my great indebtedness to all of the gentlemen named 
for this important series of Japanese Tipulidae. Unless stated 
otherwise, the types are preserved in the writer’s collection.
