22, 6 Alexander: Crane Flies from Formosa and Luzon 479 

 Tricyphona symphyletes sp. nov. 



In its general appearance close to T. kuwanai Alexander, but 

 in the structure of the male hypopygium more like T. trispinosa 

 Alexander. 



Male. — Length, about 8 millimeters ; wing, 9.3. Smaller than 

 T. kuwanai. Cephalic lateral portion of scutal lobes with a 

 semilunar dark brown spot, the posterior portion of the 

 lobes less distinctly inf uscated ; scutellum and postnotum yellow. 

 Legs light yellow, the segments not distinctly darkened at tips. 

 Wings with the costal streaks as in T. kuwanai; a conspicuous 

 dark brown seam along the basal fourth of M; a pale brown 

 seam on the basal deflection of Cu„ the remainder of the cord 

 nearly clear; the brown oblique cloud extends across the wing 

 to m but does not reach the margin as in T. trispinosa. Vena- 

 tion: r-m connecting with Its nearly its own length before the 

 fork; petiole of cell R 3 short, a little less than one-half m; 

 basal portion of R 2+3 perpendicular, bent at a strong angle, 

 the free portion of R 2 very short, R 2+3 being bent close to 

 R x at this point widening cell R 3 ; cell R 4 very wide near mid- 

 length, correspondingly narrowed at the distal end; m present, 

 transverse, connecting M 2 with M 3 , the latter just beyond mid- 

 length; basal deflection of Cu, immediately beyond the fork 

 of M. 



Male hypopygium with but three black spines on the pleural 

 appendage as in T. trispinosa, the notch between these and the 

 apical point circular in outline. Gonapophyses with the lateral 

 margin almost straight to the apex, not bulged outward before 

 the apex as in T. kuwanai. 

 Habitat. — Formosa. 



Holotype, male, Musha, altitude about 3,500 feet (about 1,060

 green; wings with a strong brown tinge; cell 2d A narrow;
