294 TIPULID^E. 



nccted at its tip with the radial by a transverse veinlet ; radial and 

 cubital vein proceeding from a common petiole, which is little more 

 than half their length, and which proceeds from the subcostal at very 

 much beyond half the length of the wing, and is not angular at its 

 base ; cubital connected near its base with the third externo-medial by 

 a veinlet whose angle emits the first externo-medial ; the latter is con- 

 nected with the third externo-medial by a veinlet whose angle emits 

 the second externo-medial ; subanal connected with the third externo- 

 medial veinlet, which is nearer than the discal areolet to the base of the 

 wing.

Pale ferruginous. Palpi and antennae black, tawny at the base. 

 Pectus and metathorax testaceous. Wings nearly limpid ; veins black, 

 testaceous at the base ; stigma obsolete. Legs testaceous, tarsi and 

 tips of the femora and of the tibia? darker than the femora.

26. transversalis, n. Fulva, capite palpis antennisque nigris, 

 thorace vittis tribus fuscescentibus, alls subcinereis apud costam albidis, 

 macnlis dual/us costalibus apicibusque fuscescentibus, venulis transversis 

 fusco-sublimbatis, abdomine fusco maculis testaceis, pedibus testaceis,

Tawny. Head black, with hoary tomentum. Palpi and antennae 

 black. Thorax with three brownish stripes, the lateral pair very short. 

 Wings very slightly greyish, almost whitish along the costa, where there 

 are two brown spots ; tips brownish ; transverse veinlet slightly clouded 

 with brown. Halteres whitish, with blackish knobs. Abdomen brown, 

 with a testaceous spot on each segment, except towards the tip, which 

 is brown. Legs testaceous ; tarsi, except at the base, and tips of the 

 femora and of the tibiaa brown. 



Not common. (E.) 



SECTION 14. 



e e. Subcostal vein prolonged beyond the veinlet which joins it to the radial. 



Mediastinal vein almost contiguous to the subcostal, ending before 

 two-thirds of the length of the wing ; subcostal ending at rather be- 

 yond five-sixths of the length, united by a veinlet at some distance 

 from its tip with the radial ; radial and cubital springing from a com- 

 mon petiole, which is a little more than half their length, and proceeds 

 from the subcostal at half the length of the wing ; cubital united near 

 its base with the third externo-medial by a veinlet, which emits the 

 first externo-medial ; the latter is united with the third externo-medial 

 by an angular veinlet, whose hind side, in most species, is much curved, 

 and much longer and nearer to the base of the wing than its fore side,
