basal and upper part of the joints of the flagellum brownish. The 
brownish thoracie stripes are indistinetly marked by the darker lines 
bounding them; these lines are more distinct on the lateral stripes; 
metathorax pale yellow, with a distinet intermediate and indistinct 
lateral brownish stripes. Halteres brownish yellow, knobs very little 
darker. Abdomen brownish mixed with yellow; lateral margins pa- 
ler; venter pale yellow, with a longitudinal brown stripe. Legs yel- 
lowish brown, femora more yellowish, with a brown ring before 
the tip. Wings subhyaline, with a pale brownish tinge; costal 
cell yellowish; the small stigma pale brown; small brown clouds 
on the knee of the praefurca and at the end of it, also at 
the tip of ‚the second and third veins. The praefurca is a little 
longer here, than in the related species; it has a small stump of 
vein on its knee; the third vein is its linear prolongation (and not 
the second, as in the other Brachypremnae); the submarginal and 
posterior cells are longer here than in the other Drachypremnae; 
the discal cell smaller, the second posterior subsessile. Length 
16—18 mm.; wing 23 mm. 
Hab. Portorico (Moritz); three males in the Berlin Museum. 
P. 164. At the end of Zanypremna add the following description 
Tanypremna manicata n. sp. 
Yellowish-brown, thoracic dorsum with three almost confluent 
brown stripes; brown spots on the metanotum. Antennae pale yel- 
low, darker towards the tip; halteres brownish-yellow; abdomen yel- 
lowish-brown (tip broken). Legs dark brown, but femora paler; a 
small white ring before the tip of the tibiae; three successive white 
rings at the end of the tarsal joints 1, 2, 3. Wings with a pale 
brownish tinge; stigma brown. 
Hab. Brazil (discoverer: Sellow); a single specimen in the Berlin 
Museum; sex uncertain, as the tip of the abdomen is broken oft. 
The length, when the abdomen is entire, must be about 14 mm. 
The number of joints of the antennae is certainly more than eleven 
(this number I counted in 7! opilio). 
P. 165. I should have spoken of Latreille’s treatment of the 
genus Otenophora in his Hist. Nat. Cr. et Ins. Vol. XIV, but as 
this work in not within my reach at present, I can only refer to 
Monogr. etc. IV, p. 9, where I have made a statement about it. 
The genus Tanyptera, in this arrangement, was proposed for 
Cten. atrata Meig. It should be introduced in the Alphabetical Index 
of the genera of Tipulidae longipalpi- in the Berl. Ent, Zeitschr. 1886,
