the Tipulid genus Styringomyia. 221 



marked with brown as in fig. 7 ; seventh segment with a median 

 dark brown stripe expanded in the middle ; hypopygium all yellow- 

 ochreous. In the female the abdomen has a continuous, rather 

 obscure, brown median stripe. Legs with the dark rings incomplete 

 ventrally ; in the male the ring in the middle of the hind tibia is very 

 faint; joints of hind tarsi scarcely darkened at their tips. Wings 

 as in S. javana, except that Ax is evenly curved to the hind margin. 



Type in the Amsterdam Museum. 



Log. Java : Semarang, 2 (^ 1 $ ; Batavia, 1 (^ (type) 1 $ 

 {E. Jacobson). Previously determined by de Meijere (1911) 

 as S. didyma, Grim. 



20. S. fryeri, sp. n. 



Figs. 36, 37, 74 and 75. 



Head yellowish, with darker patches near the neck. Antennae 

 and palpi coloured as usual. Thorax brownish with some darker 

 root markings, the most distinct of which is a patch just above the 

 root of each wing; scutellum not distinctly darker at the sides. 

 Some of the small admedian bristles are aggregated into a pair of 

 small tufts towards the front of the mesonotum. Abdomen of 

 male yellowish-brown, with traces of darker patches on the basal 

 halves of the segments, most distinct on segments 6 and 7; there 

 are also pairs of distinct dark brown spots on the hind margins of 

 each of segments 2-7. Abdomen of female similarly but less distinctly 

 marked. Legs with all the dark rings distinct and complete, the 

 tips of all the tarsal joints dark. Wings : Rg + 3 a little more nearly 

 vertical than usual; tip of Ax sharply curved to the hind margin. 

 The dark spot over the R-M cross-vein just extends over the base of 

 R2 + 3 ; all the veins slightly but distinctly darkened at their tips ; a 

 slightly darker cloud above Cu towards the base of the wing. 



Type in the British Museum. 



Loc. Ceylon : Peradeniya (J. C. F. Fryer), 1 ^ (type) 

 1 ? ; also 1 $ in the Indian Museum from the same locahty. 

 This is the species referred to rather inaccurately by me 

 (1913) as " S. ceylonica, Brun. {nee Edw.)." Brunetti's 

 series contained only a single female. 



21. S. himalayana, sp. n. 



Figs. 40, 41 and 77. 

 Resembles S. fryeri, but a little smaller and much yellower, all the 

 dark markings being reduced; thorax almost unicolorous yellow- 

 ochreous ; terminations of the veins (except that of Ax) not in the 

 least darkened.
