TIPULA. 321 



yellowish but not conspicuously so ; three dark brownish irregular 

 small patches placed, (1) over the base of the two basal cells, 

 (2) over the origin of the 2nd longitudinal vein, and (3) forming 

 the irregularly shaped stigma; the tip of the wing is just per- 

 ceptibly darker. Some slightly paler spots than the ground- 

 colour are placed as follows : along the posterior side of the 

 2nd basal cell ; a similar, but smaller, distal one in the same cell ; 

 in front of, and just beyond the stigma ; at the tips of the 6th 

 and 7th veins, with an intermediate marginal one. None of the 

 veins are really iufuscated except the 5th, for a short distance in 

 the neighbourhood of the posterior cross-vein. Petiole of 2nd 

 posterior cell two-thirds as long as the discal cell and barely half 

 as long as the veinlets enclosing the 2nd posterior cell. Halteres 

 brown. 



Length 18-19 millim., excl. proboscis 1| millim., and ovipositor 

 4| millim. 



Described from a type female from Darjiling, 23. v. 10, taken 

 by me ; a second female from Kurseong, 9. ix. 09 (Annandale) ; 

 and a third female taken by Mr. W. Pettigrew at TJkhrul, 

 Manipur, 6400 ft. 



Type in the Indian Museum. 



Distinguished from T. himalayensis by the absence of the yellow 

 rings on the femora, from T. tessellatipennis and T. marmorati- 

 pennis by the absence of both clear spots on the margins of the 

 posterior cells, and of infuscations of the tips of the 4th longi- 

 tudinal vein-endings.

3 . Head : vertex and frons moderately dark grey, with short 

 scattered black hairs ; frons nearly one-third the width of the

 1st joint of considerable length, 2nd very short, both pale yellow ;

 bordered with a narrow line of darker colour, the median stripe 

 having also a pair of fine darker longitudinal lines ; on the 

 shoulders, in front of each of the outer dorsal stripes, a black spot 

 in the small indentation usually found there ; behind the suture, 

 a large oval, and a smaller anterior round darker grey spot on 

 each side of the median depression. Scutellum and metanotum 

 ash-grey or a little darker, with short yellow hairs on the hind 

 margin of the former, and scattered wholly over the dorsum of 

 the latter; sides of thorax just below the dorsum yellowish; 

 pleurse and lower part of thorax ash-grey. Abdomen yellowish, 

 with very short yellow hairs, becoming darker and more reddish 

 towards the tip, sometimes blackish on the dorsum of the end 

 segments ; 1st segment with two large squarish blackish spots ; 

 a more or less obvious black stripe along the side of the abdomen.
