NO. 2103. JAVANESE CRANE-FLIES— ALEXANDER. 161 



This insect is readily separated from the described species of the 

 genus by its dark brownish black coloration and the peculiar shape 

 of the ventral hypopygial lobe. The mouth parts are injured in my 

 specimen and there is a possibility that it should more properly be 

 referred to Geranomyia.

 wing with Sc very long. 



Male. — Length, 9 mm.; wing, 11.6 mm. Rostrum short, light 

 brown, the palpi dark brown. Head gray.

 tibiae and tarsi darker. Wings with a faint yellowish tinge, stigma 

 indistinct, brownish, veins brown; venation: (see pi. 42, fig. 2), Sc long

 darker brown.
