Alexander— Crane Flies 227 



oxeepting a small hyaline area which occupies the base of M^ and covers the 

 middle of cell second M^ ; anal angle yellowish ; veins dark brown, more yellowish 

 in the hyaline areas. Venation : Sc^ lacking ; Sc- ending in R before the level 

 of the outer end of cell first M^ ; the tip of Sc-, after fusing Avith R for a distance 

 about its own length, breaks away and appears as a conspicuous oblique vein 

 provided with macrotrichiae; origin of Rs far back near the wing-base, R before 

 this origin being only about one-half of Rs ; cell first M^ very long and narrow, 

 laying far out in the membrane, vein M^ beyond it being less than one-half the 

 length of cell first M^ ; basal deflection of M^ much longer than m ; anal vein 

 short and straight, cell A being relatively narrow ; a single supernumerary cross- 

 vein situated in cell R* some distance beyond the level of the fork of R^+^ ; veins 

 provided with long, conspicuous macrotrichiae. Abdomen discoloured ; apical 

 lialf of the tergites darker and more glabrous than the basal half. Valves of the
