NO. 2103. JAVANESE CRANE-FLIES— ALEXANDER. 169 



the tip broadly white; tibiae with the base white, this space being a 

 little shorter than the tip of the femora, remainder of the tibiae 

 brown except the apical fourth which is white: tarsi white. Wings 

 subhyaline, stigma oval, brown, veins brown; venation: (see pi. 43, 

 fig. 16), the fusion of i?2+3 ^^^ ^4+5 beyond r-m is longer than 

 this cross-vein. 



Abdominal tergites 3 to 7 dark brown on the basal two-thirds, 

 yellowish on the apical third; sternites more yellowish; hypopygium 

 dark brown. 



Habitat. — New South Wales ; Java. 



Twelve specimens in the collection, as follows: Tjibodas, Mount 

 Gede, Java; 3 males, 2 females, at 9,000 feet; 1 male at 8,000 feet. 

 (Bryant and Palmer). Pangranggo, Java; 4 males, 2 females, 9,000 

 feet. (Bryant and Palmer). 



Skuse described this species from New South Wales and it has not 

 been found since his time apparently. 



Genus RHAMPHOLIMNOBIA, nev/ genus. 



* Antennae 15-segmented, the first segment elongated. Front 

 between the eyes narrowed (in the female), on the lower surface of 

 the head the eyes are contiguous. Rostrum very long, powerful, 

 compressed, the tip apparantly broken in the unique type, length of 

 the rostrum about equal to the head and thorax together, viewed from 

 the side, the rostrum at the base is one-half as deep as the head, 

 gradually narrowed toward the tip; viewed from above very narrow. 

 Neck long and narrow. Venation: Rs elongate, gently arcuated at 

 the base, i?2+3 and Bi+^ fused for a shght distance beyond the 

 cross- vein r-m; i?2+3 short, arcuated; cross-vein r-m long, promi- 

 nent; basal deflection of Cui before the fork of 21. 

 Type. — Khami)liolimnobia reticularis, new species. 

 This genus difi^ers from Elephantomyia m the contiguity of the eyes 

 beneath, the very powerful compressed rostrum, the venation as 

 regards the basal fusion of i?2+3 ^i^d ^4+5> the position of the basal 

 deflection of Cu^, etc. 



RHAMPHOLIMNOBIA RETICULARIS, new species. 



Coloration brown and yeUow; wings hyahne, reticulated with 

 brown. 



Female. — Length, 8.2 mm.; wing, 6.4 mm.; rostrum (tip broken?), 

 1.8 mm. Rostrum dark brown. Antennae with the first segment 

 gray, the second dark brownish black, third segment hght yellow, 

 remainder of the antennae hght brown. Head hght gray with several 

 large clove-brown blotches on the middle of the vertex and occiput. 



Cervical sclerites and pronotum brown; suture between the pro- 

 and meso-nota yellow. Mesonotal prsescutum light reddish brown
