new species of Hxotic Tipulide. 369 
of that part of the world. A small number of Hriocere 
differ from the others in the enormous elongation of the 
antenne of the male sex, in comparison to those of the 
female. The geographical distribution of these latter 
species is singular; among the large number of Hriocere 
which I have seen, I have met with only four such 
species from North America, three from the Indian 
Archipelago, and two fossil ones included in Prussian 
amber. The numerous Mriocere from Mexico, South 
America, India, and China, which I have seen, all have 
short antenne in both sexes. The species figured by 
you is one of the three species of that group which occur 
in the Indian Archipelago; the other two are LE. verticals, 
Wied., from Java, and lv. atra, Doleschall, from Amboina. 
The latter I have never seen, but have little doubt that 
it belongs here, although described as a Megistocera.”
