In a small collection of crane-flies received from Dr.. 

 James F. Illingworth from the vicinity of Caii'ns, North- 

 Queensland, several species of exceptional interest wera 

 included. Some of these species were described by Skuse 

 thirty years ago and not recorded in the literature since 

 that time, while a few others had not been discovered in. 

 Australia hitherto. Besides the described species a few 

 others proved to be new to science and are discussed here- 

 with. The tjrpes of the species are preserved in the collec- 

 tion of the writer. I would express my sincere thanks to Dr. 

 Illingworth for his many kindnesses at this time and in the= 

 pas'. .
