358 Di-. C. P. Alexander on African Crane-flies 



intermediate pair euding before the suture^ very narrowly 

 and indistinctly se})arated from one another by a pale 

 capillary line ; pseudosutural fovese large, pale ; no tuber- 

 cnlate pits ; scutum obscure yellowish, each lobe with two 

 confluent dark brown spots, the more lateral being con- 

 tinuations of the lateral prsescutal stripes ; scutellum and 

 postuotum yellow. Pleura pale yellow. Halteres with the 

 stem yellow, brightest basally^ the knobs dark brown, l^egs 

 -with the coxse and trochanters yellow ; remainder of the 

 legs broken. Wings pale greyish subhyalincj the stigma 

 very indistinct and ill-detined ; veins dark brown. Venation : 

 Sci ending opposite the fork of Rs ; Sc.^ some distance from 

 the tip of Sci, the latter vein alone being a little longer 

 than i^2+3 J ^* rather long, gently arcuattd ; -R2+3 almost 

 in alignment with Rs, rather short, a little longer than the 

 deflection of i?4+5 ; '" on i?2 about, or less than, its own 

 length beyond the fork of i^o+s j ^i beyond r, about equal 

 to Sci alone ; basal deflection of i?44.5 and r-m in oblique 

 alignment ; cell M^ lacking ; cell \st M.2 open by the 

 atrophy of the outer deflection of M^; cell 2nd M2 a little 

 more than twice its petiole ; basal deflection of Cui l)eyond 

 the fork of M, the fusion of Cui and M3 being about two- 

 thirds the length of the basal deflection of Cui. 



Abdomen light reddish brown ; tips of the terebra broken 

 in the unique type.

The legs are lacking in the unique type, and it becomes a 

 rather difficult matter to place this fly generically. How-

 reference is the correct one.

 subhyaline with a heavy brown pattern that is irregularly
