Of the species of crane-flies described as Atarbae from the Oriental 

 and African regions, Atarba jlava Brunetti ^ is the only one that is 

 congeneric with the type, incticornis Osten Sacken of the United 

 States. The other species are almost without exception members . 

 of the subgenus Leiponeura of the genus Gonomyia Meigen. The 

 following may be mentioned: 



Atarba lamellaris Speiser,^ Africa. 



Atarba nebulosa de Meijere,^ Java. 



Atarba pilifera de Meijere,* Java. 



Atarba diffusa de Meijere,'^ Java. 



Atarba javanica differs from A. jlava as follows: 



1. Sc short, ending just beyond the origin of Rs; Ito+z long, the distance on the 

 wing-margin between i?i and R^+z at least as long as that between islj+s and 



■^4+5- (India) jlava Brunetti. 



Sc longer, ending beyond the middle of Rs; i?2+3 short, oblique, the distance 

 on the wing-margin between Ri and i?2+3 much less than half that between 

 Ro+z and R^+z. (Java) javanica, new species.
