 end of cells Cu^, first A, second A, and in the wing-axil; extreme base of the 

 wing yelloAv. Venation: Rs angnlated or slightly spurred at origin; R2+3 about 

 equal to the deflection of R''+'''; r on R- a little more than its own length 

 beyond the fork of R-+-'^; petiole of cell M^ equal to oi- slightly longer than cell 

 first M^ ; basal deflection of Cui before midlength of cell first M^. Abdomen

GYNOPLISTIA Westwood, 1835. 

 GYNOPLISTIA BELLA PALLIDAPICALIS subsp. nov. 



'i Length, 9-10 mm. ; wing, I) mm. 



A^erj^ similar to typical G. hcUa Walker, differing as follows: 



Male antenna Avith twenty segments, the terminal five simple. Wings with 

 the apical dark band reduced to an indistinct cloud in the ends of cells R- to R^ ; 

 the white .spot in cell R is very small, nmcli smaller than the white blotch beyond 

 the origin of Rs. 



This is the variety B mentioned by Skuse, his material having also been 

 secured in Tasmania.

STIBADOCERELLA Briinetti, 1918. 



The genus Sfihadocrrrlla was ei'ccted by Bruuetti for the Oriental S. pris- 

 Una Bruuetti. It is of great inter(»st to record a second species, the fir.st member 

 of the Cylindrotominae to be found in the Australasian Region. Although the 

 type is in a highly fragmentary condition, there will be no doubt of the identity 

 because of the con.spicuous diagnostic characters listed under the species. The 

 present form deviates from the original characterization of the genus by the 

 long vein R-+^, r-m being placed at the fork of the sector. The chief character 

 still available for the separation of Stihadorrrella from Stjhadocera Enderlein 

 would thus seem to be the impunctate head and thorax. The white tarsi are like- 

 wise a con.spicuous character, though shared by the Oriental genus Afja<itomjjia 

 de Meijere (1919). This latter genus differs from all other known Tipulidae, 

 with the exception of the Limnobiine Doaneomijia Alexander, in the possession 

 of a single anal vein.
