in the apical portion of the wing and the slenderness of the legs. — 
Limnobia morionella Schiner (R. d. Novara), from South Ame- 
rica, is not a Dicranomyia as I thought (O. S. Monogr. ete. IV, 
p. 57) but a Teucholabis. 
In discussing Glochina (l. e. p. 59) I have omitted to draw 
attention to Meigen’s (Vol. VI, Tab. 65, f. 7) dissection of the parts 
of the mouth of Glochina sericata M., which shows a structure 
different from that of all the known Tipulidae, with a pair of horny 
maxillae (?2) ete. I do not know what to make of it. 
It is very singular that not a single species of Dieranomyia 
has been observed in the larval state; there is none even among the 
numerous Tipulidae bred by Mr. Beling. I only find the develop- 
ment of a species, doubtfully referred to Limnobia fusca Meig., 
described by Mr. T. D. Schubart (Handel. der Nederl. Entom. Ver- 
eeniging, 40, I Deel, 1 Stuck, Leiden 1854, p. 10) in the following 
words: „I found the full-grown larvae in ditch-water, on July 12; 
„they are inclosed in an elongate sheath of a transparent, bluish- 
„green jelly; they leave it in passing into the pupa-state, when they 
„move about near the surface of the water, with a pair of bulb- 
„shaped appendages, their breathing-holes." (?)

The genus is cosmopolitan and oceurs even within the tropies; 
I have seen a G@eranomyia, n. sp. from Ceylon in the Berlin Museum; 
L. sorbillans Wied. A. Z. I, p. 551 from Sumatra is a Geranomyia; 
In California near S. Franeisco I caught a Geranomyia with almost 
moniliform antennae and very small fleshy lobes of the forceps. 
In the Museum at Marseilles, I saw a fossil Geranomyia, among 
the slabs marked: terrains 6docenes d’Aix. A sufficiently distinct 
proboseis, about twice the length of the head; spurless tibiae and
