This species is very much like the following ; it differs in 

 the dull brownish-black (not shining black) thorax, which is 

 only very slightly produced forwards and does not end in a 

 sharp point; also in the yellow (instead of black) femora 

 and tibise. By the last-named character it also differs from 

 M. albitarsis, Mg.

Wiedemann's brief description of M. gibbosa notes all the 

 more salient features of Kieffer's G. albitarsis, and the two 

 names may be safely considered to apply to the same species. 

 The genera Macropeza and Calyptopogon are so similar that 

 the propriety of their separation seems open to question. 



Tipulidae.

Peradeniya, vi. 1912 ; 1 ? . 



Brunetti has apparently overlooked the fact that the white 

 rings on the femora are present on the two anterior pairs only. 



8. Pselliophora? elongata, sp. n. 



? . Length of body 34 mm., of wing 23 mm. 



Brown ; wings clouded ; abdomen with whitish lateral 

 spots. 



Bead dark reddish brown, palpi and antennas blackish 

 brown towards the apex. Antennas 13-jointed, a little shorter 

 than the thorax, sparsely hairy; second joint extremely 

 short, flagellar joints about equal in length, the first six each 

 with two prominent rounded lobes on the underside, becoming- 

 less marked in the apical joints. Thorax dark brown ; meso- 

 notum in front of the suture with four lighter reddish-brown 

 stripes, the two middle ones closely approximated and 

 reaching the front margin, the lateral ones only about half as 

 long ; behind the suture on each side are two reddish-brown 

 spots ; scutellum almost round, reddish brown ; postnotum 

 reddish brown in the middle, dark brown at the sides;
