new or little-known Tipulide. 159 
Generally similar to C. tillyardi, Alex., differing princi- 
pally in the structure of the antenne and the coloration of 
the abdominal tergites. 
First antennal segment orange, the remaining segments 
dark brown; flagellar segments 1 to 4 broadly pyriform, 
decreasing in size from the first to the fourth; segments 
beyond the fourth cylindrical and provided with very long 
verticils. 
Mesonotum and pleura with orange stripes. Legs black. 
Wings with a strong yellowish tinge, more infuscated on 
the distal half, the centres of cells M, Cu,, and Ist A paler. 
Abdominal tergites black, only the eighth and ninth 
segments orange. First tergite with a large, triangular, 
white area on each side; second tergite black, unmarked 
except for a large, elongate, transverse, white area on either 
side, only narrowly separated on the median line ; tergite 
3 black with a small, rounded, white spot near the 
lateral margin and an even smaller pair lying more cephalad 
and closer to the median line; tergite 4 with only the 
rounded lateral spots ; tergite 5 with the lateral spots shghtly 
larger, and in addition with two much larger white areas 
closer to the median line, these latter areas larger than the 
black space separating them ; tergites 6 and 7 black with 
large and conspicuous white lateral spots ; segment 8 orange; 
segment 9 and the ovipositor more castaneous. Sternites
