Among a collection of mosquitoes recently received by the 

 Imperial Bureau o£ Entomology, from Dr. A. T. Stanton of 

 Kuala Lumpur, were eight specimens of crane-flies which the 

 sender wished to have named. These were referred to the 

 writer for examination, and proved to belong to seven un- 

 described species. Descriptions of these are appended in 

 the following pages, and the opportunity has been taken of 

 including a few other hitherto-undescribed species from the 

 same region, which are represented in the British Museum 

 collection. The types of Dr. Stanton's new species have 

 been presented to the British Museum by the Imperial 

 Bureau of Entomology.
