- 524 On new or little-known Tipulidee. 
Abdomen uniformly light brown, including the hypo- 
pygium. Male hypopygium very different in the details of 
structure from other known species of the subgenus. Ninth 
tergite with a profound median incision, the mesal face of 
the lobes formed obliquely truncated and densely set with 
abundant black spicules. Outer or dorsal pleural appendage 
flattened as in the genus, but the apex scarcely more than 
one-half as long as the dilated base, not at all prolonged 
into an attenuate lobe as in the genotype. 
The female is smaller. The unique specimen of this sex 
at hand lacks the spur on vein JZ.

Macromaslix subtenera, sp. nu. 
Male.—Length about 7°5 mm.; wing 10°5 mm. 
Related to M. tenera (Hutton), differing as follows :— 
Size smaller. Antennz more elongate, the flagellar 
segments beyond the first elongate-cylindrical, those near 
mid-length of the organ much longer than those at base. 
Head obscure yellow; a large brown area on either side of 
the vertex behind the eyes, only narrowly separated on the 
median line; no median dark line on the anterior part of 
vertex. Mesonotal postnotum obscure yellow with the lateral 
margins of the median sclerite conspicuously margined with 
pale brown, the median pale area broad ; in ¢enera there are 
two circular black spots on the posterior margin of the post- 
notum. Pleura with a continuous, but rather indistinct, 
transverse brown line on the anterior part of the mesepi- 
sternum, continued ventrad on to the mesosternum. Wings 
faintly tinged with brown. As a little shorter than in 
tenera ; cell 2nd A a little narrower. Basal tergite dark ; 
basal half of second tergite conspicuously light brown ; 
remaining tergites with the paie median stripe as in ¢enera, 
but less distinct and conspicuously interrupted across the 
caudal margin of each segment by a narrow brownish-black 
margin to the selerite, those cross-bars concolorous with the 
lateral stripes.
