Neiv or Little-known Exotic Tipulidae. 45 



subteiminal ring ; tibiae yellow, the tips conspicuously blackened ; 

 metatarsi brown, the tips and remainder of the tarsi dark brownish 

 black. Wings with a greyish yellow tinge ; stigma small, circular, 

 dark brown ; veins brown. Venation : Sc short, Scl terminating 

 a distance before the origin of lis that is longer than Rs alone ; 

 basal deflection of Cul in alignment with r-m and on 31 at or 

 before the fork. 



Abdomen dark brown, the caudal margins of the segments 

 narrowly white, less distinct on the sternites. Male hypopygium 

 very much as in G. (L.) falcifer Alex. (Amazonian Peru), but the 

 outer pleural appendage with but a single subbasal spine, this latter 

 with about four appressed teeth on the proximal face. 



Hab. Paraguay. 



Holotype, (^, San Bernardino (Fiebrig). 



Type in the collection of the Vienna Museum. 



Gnophomyia funebris, sp. n. 



General coloration black; flagellar segments feebly subserrate; 

 legs and halteres black ; wings with a strong brown tinge, the median 

 half slightly paler ; abundant macrotrichiae in the cells beyond the 

 cord; Scl long. 



Male. — Length about 9 mm. ; wing 8-4 mm. 



Rostrum and palpi black. Antennae black; intermediate 

 flagellar segments narrow at base, the inner face at apex a little 

 produced to give the organ a subserrate appearance. Head black. 



Thorax black. Halteres and legs black. Wings with a strong 

 brownish tinge, the middle half a little paler, the wing- base and 

 apex being a little darkened; conspicuous macrotrichiae in cells 

 Scl, 1st and 2nd Rl, R2, R3, R5, 1st M2, 2nd M2, M3, Gul and the 

 ends of Cu and 1st A. Venation : Scl ending about opposite one- 

 third the length of R2 + 3, Sc2 some distance from the tip of Scl, 

 the latter alone about two- thirds the basal deflection of C«l; Rs 

 elongate, almost straight ; i?2 + 3 about equal to the basal deflec- 

 tion of Cul ; r on i?2 + 3 immediately before its fork; basal deflec- 

 tion of i?4 + 5 angulate ; r-m oblique ; proximal end of cell 1st M2 

 pale; basal deflection of Cul at about one-fifth the length of cell 

 Isl M2. 



Abdomen brownish black throughout. Male hypopygium of 

 the type of O. luctuosa O.S. ; pleurites stout, the outer lateral angle 

 produced caudad and slightly proximad into a conspicuous digiti- 

 form lobe that is narrowed to the blunt apex. There appears to 

 be but a single pleural appendage, this a little shorter than the
