So far as known, the Oriental crane-fly fauna is the 

 richest of all the regions of the world. It is interesting to 

 note that the known fauna of this region is even now far larger 

 than that of either the much better known Palaearctic or 

 Nearctic regions.

One female, taken at Arisan, Formosa, June 22, 1917 (T. 

 Shiraki) No. 1331. 



This magnificent crane-fly has hitherto been known only 

 from the type, a fragmentary specimen in the collection of the 

 British Museum that from its size is judged to be a male. 

 The female sex may now be described and additional details of 

 color and structure indicated. 



Allotype, 9. Very similar to the description of the type. Rostrum 

 and palpi dark brown. Antennse moderately long for a member of 

 this genus, dark brown, the apices of the flagellar segments indistinctly 

 paler. Head greenish yellow. The supernumerary cross-veins of the 

 wings are surrounded by conspicuous brown seams, the one in cell 

 R^ lying just proximad of r, the one in cell i??. being almost in alignment 

 with the outer deflection of Mz\ r at the tip of Ri. The wing-markings 

 described by Edwards as being black are here of a medium brown. 

 Abdomen brownish testaceus, sternites paler, especially basally; a
