A new Interpretation of the Wing-venation of the 

 Pediciine Crane-flies (Tipulidae, Diptera). 



By Chas. p. /\lexander. University of Kansas. Lawrence, 



Kans. 



(Plate Xn.) 



Since the appearance of Neeciham's exhaustive work on the 

 wing-\ enation of crane-flies* there has been a tremendous in- 

 crease in our knowledge of the group, the number of nev^^ 

 species described in the past decade being far more than half 

 of all those discovered in the preceding century and a half. 

 These novelties have included many interesting new types 

 that give us additional and suggestive data on some of the 

 critical points of venation. In other papers I have shown the 

 probable true interpretation of the Cylindrotominae and in
