Among a collection of mosquitoes recently received by the 

 Imperial Bureau ot" Entomology, from Dr. A. T. Stanton of 

 Kuala Lumpur, were eight specimens of crane-flies which the 

 sender wished to have named. These were referred to the 

 ■writer for examination, and proved to belong to seven un- 

 described species. Descriptions of these are appended in 

 the following pages, and the opportunity has been taken of 

 including a few other hitherto-uudescribed species from the 

 same region, which are represented in the British ^Museum 

 collection. The types of Dr. Stanton's new species have 

 been pi'csented to the British jNIuseum by the Imperial 

 Bureau of Entomology.
