246 Mr. F. W. Edwards on 
description (Can. Ent. 1915, p. 79). This and D. punetu- 
lata, Meij., are evidently closely allied, the latter differing 
chiefly in its thoracic markings, © 
Dicranomyia alticola, sp.n, (Pl. XII. fig. 1.) 
Head blackish, rather shining, rostrum and palpi black, 
antenne dark brown. Two or three basal joints of the 
flagellum nearly spherical, remainder gradually becoming 
more elongate, each bearing two or three hairs near the hase 
which are not much longer than the joints. Thorea shining 
ochreous ; }ronotum and central area of front half of pre- 
scutum brownish $ pleuree lighter ochreous, unmarked. Ab- 
domen (see fig. 1) uniformly dark brown above ; uniformly 
ochreous below, except that the swollen bases of the valves 
of the ovipositor (9s) are shining black. The anal cerci 
(i. e., the dorsal valves of the ovipositor) are very short, 
being very little longer than the tenth tergite ; the ninth 
tergite is nearly three times as long as the tenth and con- 
siderably longer than the eighth. Legs brownish, tips of 
femora darker; claws each with a single tooth. Wings 
hyaline, iridescent ; stigma light brown, but distinct; no 
other markings. Se, ends in costa at about two-fifths of the 
distance from the hase to the apex of Rs; Sc, more than 
twice its own length distant from the tip of Sc,. Rs arising 
well beyond the middle of the wing, gently curved at its 
base, not much more than half as long as Ry,3. R, turned 
sharply up to the costa at the marginal cross-vein. R-M 
cross-vein present. Cu, meeting M either just before, at, or 
just after the fork ; cell lst M, twice as long as its average 
breadth, not quite as long as cell M, or 2nd My. alteres 
with light stem and blackish knob. 
Length of body 775 mm. ; wing 8 mm.

v. 1913 (M. Maki). 
Perhaps most nearly allied to D. alta, Meij., but certainly 
distinct. The species of this group, which seems to be 
numerously represented in the Oriental Region, approach 
Limnobia in the lengthened Sc, and make the distinction 
between the two genera rather uncertain. 
Geranomyia septemnotata, sp. n. 
Tlead blackish grey ; eves nearly contiguous above and 
absolutely so below. Proboscis black, a little longer than 
the head and thorax together. Antenne missing. Thorax 
reddish brown above ; three rather narrow dark brown stripes
