neio Tipulidae/wwj the Malay Peninsula. 353 



Kedah : Kedah Peak, 3200 ft. {Dr. A. T. Stanton), 1 S. 

 Readily distinguishable from the other Oriental species 

 by the wing-markings. 



Limnobia crocea, sp. n. 



Head : vertex orange, blackish anteriorly ; front grey, 

 linear, the eyes almost touching for a considerable distance. 

 Proboscis, palpi, and antennae entirely black. Flagellar 

 joints (except the first) each with a single very long hair in 

 the middle on the upper side, and a few short ones below ; 

 first few joints of the flagellura rounded, remainder gradually 

 becoming elongate-oval ; last joint slender and nearly twice 

 as long as the penultimate. Thorax entirely orange, except 

 for a broad black median stripe on the praescutum and two 

 large black spots on the scutum, the black parts shining, 

 the rest not. Abdomen orange except the eighth segment 

 and male genitalia, which are black ; ovipositor orange. 

 Legs : coxae and trochanters orange, remainder black. 

 Wings slightly tinged with brownish-yellow, stigma small, 

 brown ; larger brown spots over the base of Rs and the 

 apex of Sc, and a brown band over the central cross-veins 

 which practically reaches the hind margin ; basal tifth of 

 wing dark brown. Venation as in L. longinervis, Brun., 

 except that the marginal cross-vein is long, oblique, and 

 slightly curved, simulating the tip of Ri, the real tip being 

 less distinct and turned sharply up to the costa. Halteres 

 with orange stem and black knob. 



Length of body 7-10 mm. ; wing 9*5-11 mm. 



SiAM : Sungkie, 9. ii. 1902 {Robiiison ^- Annandale), 1 S ■> 



The only previously described species with which this can 

 be compared is L. longinervis, Brun., which is quite distinct 

 in coloration. Both species might be placed almost equally 

 well in Libnotes. 



Libnotes scutellata, sp. n. (Fig. 2, p. 356.) 



Head deep ochreous. Frons very narrow. Proboscis 

 and palpi blackish. Antennae shorter than the thorax, scape 

 blackish, flagellum brownish. Basal flagellar joints ex- 

 panded apically, scarcely longer than broad ; apical joints 

 more slender, but hardly longer, except the last one ; hairs 

 short. Thorax : pronotum ochreous ; a brown streak on 

 each side below its edge, almost connected with a rather 

 large brown patch above the front coxae. Praescutum 

 brownish-ochreous ; two pairs of brown marks on the
