New or Little-known Exotic Tipulidae, 55 



light yelloAV ring before the broad tips, on the mid-femora this 

 being very narrow, only about one-third the brown tip; on the 

 hind femora the yellow ring is much broader and very conspicuous, 

 being more than one-half the brown tips ; tibiae lighter brown than 

 the femora. Wings very different from those of E. canmiaria, the 

 pale band at the cord being narrower, entirely traversing the wing 

 and including portions of cells 1st 312 and Cul ; in E. caminaria the 

 band lies entirely before the cord as stated by Wiedemann; an 

 interrupted subbasal whitish band includes a large area in the basal 

 cells immediately before the origm of Rs and a larger but less distinct 

 area occupying the basal two-thirds of cell \st A ; the cephalic 

 portion of the base of the wing proximad of h and arculus conspicu- 

 ously light yellow. Abdominal tergites three and four with their 

 basal halves pearl-grey, a little broader on the fourth segment ; on 

 tergite tAvo this pale coloration is less distinct and occupies only 

 about the basal third of the segment. Genitalia in both sexes 

 orange. In the male, the penis is very long and slender as described 

 by Schiner, a similar condition obtaming in the other members of 

 this group of species.

Schiner determined this species as being E. longistyla 

 Alexander (as erythroeephala Fabricius, preoccupied). The 

 differences from true longistyla are very considerable as 

 indicated herewith : 



Male. — Length 10 mm. ; wing 10-8 mm. 



Vertical tubercle higher than usual and with a slight median 

 notch. Mesonotal praescutum brown, darker than the obscure 

 yellow remainder of the mesonotum. Pleura brown, the lateral 

 sclerites of the postnotum consi^icuously yellow, this colour en- 

 croachmg slightly on the mesepimeron. Legs dark brown through- 

 out. Wmgs dark brown; the wing- band is very broad but incom- 

 plete, not including cells C, Sc or Cu ; this band lies entnely before 

 the cord and forms a subquadrate area estendmg from just beyond 

 the origin of Rs to the general level of the cord and uicluding portions 

 of cells 1st Rl, R and 31, and the extreme base of cell Cul ; the 1st 

 Anal cell is gonspicuously pale, only the apex being darkened. The
