PHILIPPINE DIPTERA, II H 



the scape below with black hairs. Thorax with collar, protho- 

 rax, and entire dorsum bright opaque rufous, with reddish hairs ; 

 pleurae, scutellum, and mesophragma deep black, with black 

 hairs. Halteres black. Abdomen entirely deep black, opaque, 

 even on venter, with few and short black hairs ; ovipositor shin- 

 ing black, with acute dark reddish terminal lamellae. Front 

 coxae and trocanters rufous like the prothorax; front legs want- 

 ing in case of type; middle and hind legs with black coxse and 

 trocanters ; femora black and black-haired, but their ends rufous 

 and with reddish hairs ; tibiae rufous, reddish-haired, the extreme 

 tips and terminal spurs black; tarsi black, but the praetarsi 

 rufous at base. Wings exactly as in P. pr&fica. 



LUZON, Laguna, Mount Maquiling (Baker). 



The possibility is not excluded that the present species may be 

 the female of P. prsefica. 



108. Tipula umbrina Wied. 1828. 



A female of this species from Los Banos. It is known also 

 from Sumatra, Java, Borneo, and New Guinea. 



109. Tipulodina cinctipes de Meijere. 1911. 



One female from Mount Maquiling, Luzon. This is a very 

 distinct species on account of its vitreous wings and white- 

 banded legs. It is perhaps the same as Tipida pedata of Osten 

 Sacken's paper, but in the white ring of the front femora it 

 answers better to the description of T. cinctipes from Borneo, 

 known in the male sex only. The present specimen is larger, 

 measuring 17 millimeters in length of body, 17 in length of 

 wing, and 130 in spread of legs. The subcostal cell and 

 a narrow streak along the fifth longitudinal vein are deep 

 black; the fork formed by the first vein issuing from the 

 discoidal cell is as long as its stalk, in contrast with de Meijere's 

 description. 



The genus Tipulodina, in my opinion, is to be placed in the 

 subfamily Dolichopezinae, and to this genus must be added other 

 species besides T. pedata Wiedemann, like magnicornis Ender- 

 lein, venusta Walker, inordinans Walker, gracillima Brunetti, 

 and patricia Brunetti. 



110. Megistocera fuscata Wied. 1821. 



A couple of specimens from Mount Maquiling. This is a very 

 interesting species, known from Java, Sumatra, Celebes, Aru, 

 and Borneo. The antennae of the male measure 65 millimeters 

 in length, but they are in some cases more than 80. A very
