XI. — New or little-known Tipulidee (Diptera). — VIII. 
Australasian Species. By Cuaruns P. ALexanper, Ph.D., 
F.E.S., Urbana, Illinois, U.S.A. 
Tue material upon which the present paper is based is 
largely from New Zealand, and is supplementary to the 
recent monographic treatment of the New Zealand Tipu- 
loidea by Mr. Edwards. The extensive collections used in 
the preparation of the-present instalment and others in press 
were received from several collectors, to whom my deepest 
thanks are due. These gentlemen are as follows: Dr. 
Tillyard and Mr. Philpott of the Cawthron Institute ; 
Mr. David Miller; Dr. Campbell, who sent extensive lots 
of material collected by Gourlay, Harris, and himself; 
_ highly interesting collections from the alpine zones of 
certain mountains in the North Island, sent by Mr. Watt. 
In addition to the New Zealand crane-flies, a few Austra- 
lian species are included, based on some interesting 
collections kindly sent to me for study by Mr. Edwards. 
Unless stated to the contrary, the holotypes are preserved 
in the writer’s collection. 
Molophilus philpotti, sp. n. 
* General coloration light yellow, including the wings; 
abdominal tergites bicolorous, the basal portion of each seg- 
ment infuscated.
