Studies on Tipulidae LI. 185 
I have seen in the British Museum three species from the Indo- 
Malay Archipelago (Limnobia delectata Wk., North Ceram; L. fili- 
Jormis WKk., Salwatty, and ZL. argentocineta Wk., Borneo) which 
may be provisionally considered as Elephantomyiae, until an oppor- 
tunity is afforded to study them more in detail. (The type speci- 
mens are in a very indifferent condition.) They have the same long, 
filiform rostrum, with the palpi at the end, and when Walker, in the 
description of his L. filiformis speaks of the „antenna being curved 
upwards, filiform, very slender etc.“ he describes the rostrum, which 
he mistook for an antenna. The wings of L. filiformis are broken off in 
the type specimen. Of those of argentocincta I drew a rough sketch, 
which represents the proximal end ofthe marginal cell as broader than in 
. Elephantomyia Westwoodi; that is, the praefurca, at its basis, 
desceribes a much greater curve; it is in one line with the third 
vein, so that the section of the second vein, posterior to the origin 
of the third, is arcuated at its base; the submarginal cell is consi- 
derably longer than the first posterior; the posterior cells are compa- 
ratively shorter than in E. Westwoodi; the discal has nearly the 
same shape, and the posterior crossvein is inserted near its middle. — 
The venation of Z. delectata Wk. is nearly the same, only the bases 
of the submarginal and first posterior cells are in one line. I failed 
to notice whether the marginal crossvein was present in those speci- 
mens, or not. 
Toxorrhina. 
Loew, Linn. Entom. V, p. 400, Tab. 2, f. 17, 1851; O. Sacken, 
Monogr. etc. IV, p. 109. 
Spurious genus: Limnobiorhynchus Westwood, Annales Soc. Ent. 
Fr. 1835, p. 683 (the male belongs here; the female is a @e- 
ranomyia; see above, p. 173). 
Professor Westwood (Trans. Ent. Soc. London 1881, p. 385) pu- 
blished figures of the head, the antennae, and the wings of Towor- 
rhina (Limnobiorhynchus) braziliensis West. — Toworrhinae have 
been found in North and South America only. 
For the solution of the imbroglio between Limnobiorhynchus, 
Toxorrhina and Geranomyia see Monogr. etc. IV, p. 113 —14, 
written after I had seen Prof. Westwood’s original types. 
Styringomyia. 
Loew, Dipterol. Beiträge I, p. 6, w. figure (1847); O. Sacken, Mo- 
nogr. etc. IV, p. 102; and Additions in Vol. II, at the end. 
This singular genus originally described from speeimens included 
in copal from Zanzibar and also in amber, has been discovered since
