new and little-known Tipulide. 259 
as long as Ro,3. Ry,5 ends either in the wing-tip or just 
below it. Cell M, three times as long as its petiole. Cu, in 
punctiform contact with M3. Cell Cu, at its tip slightly 
wider than cell Ms. Cell Ax rather broad, slightly broadest 
in the middle. Ha/teres dark brownish, tip of knob lighter.

Arisan, 8000 ft., 10. x. 1912 (Z. Nitobe), 1 2; also 1 9 
from Khasi Hills, Assam (purchased from E. Heyne), in 
British Museum Collection. The latter specimen differs 
chiefly in that Ry,; ends just below instead of at the wing-tip. 
This interesting species kelongs to the same group as the 
European T. fulvipennis, Deg., and has a_ considerable 
resemblance to 7. demeijere’, Edw., recently described from 
New Guinea. This latter differs in the dark postnotum and 
broader wings, as well as in other characters. A species 
described, but not named, by de Meijere (Tijd. v. Ent. liv. 
p- 71) must resemble this species closely, but seems to be 
different again. 
Tipula coquilletti, End. 
Arisan, 10. x. 1912 (J. Mitobe), 1 8. 
Agrees quite well with Japanese specimens in the British 
Museum. 
Tipula rufomedia, sp.n. (PI. XII. figs. 5-7.) 
Head velvet-black, rostrum somewhat shining at the 
sides; palpi and antennz dull black, only the second antennal 
joint somewhat reddish-tinged. Antenne alike in the two 
sexes, about as long as the thorax, 13-jointed, but the last 
joint very small and indistinct ; remaining flagellar joints all 
about equal in length, oval-cylindrical, with a very slight 
basal enlargement, and with three long and one or two 
shorter verticillate hairs, the long hairs being about half as 
long again as the joints ; pubescence fine, whitish, a little 
longer on the under surface of the flagellum. First scapal 
joint rather long, nearly smooth, enlarged apically. Rostrum 
searcely as long as the head, nasus well-developed, with 
rather long black hair. Thorar uniformly velvet-black, 
neatly bare. Abdomen with the first segment velvet-black 
beneath and at the sides, orange above; second to fifth 
segments orange-red, black-haired, apical corners of the fifth 
tergite and an indistinct lateral line on the third and fourth
