Tipulidea picta. 
Pl. 9, figs. 4, 6. 
Wings nearly or quite four times as long as broad, uncolored 
except for the unusually distinct stigma. Inner marginal cell subfu- 
siform, nearly or quite four times as long as broad. Discal cell 
considerably smaller than the inner maginal cell, from three to four 
times as long as broad, the petiole of the second posterior cell brief 
or very brief, rarely one half, usually hardly if at all more than one 
fourth, the length of the discal cell, the second posterior cell itself half 
or more than half the length of the apical intersected area of the 
wing, the latter about as long as the breadth of the wing; fifth 
posterior cell much wider at base than just before the margin. 
Sixth longitudinal vein moderately approximate to the fifth. Legs 
very slender, the femora distinctly stouter than the tibiz, about 
three fifths the length of the wings, the tibiz slightly longer than 
the femora, and the tarsi of great length, being nearly three fourths 
longer than the tibiz. Abdomen with a heavy interrupted or sub- 
interrupted mediodorsal stripe, consisting on each segment of 
a subtriangular patch, which abruptly broadens at the posterior 
margin to a greater or less extent, and fails, at least distinctly, to 
reach the anterior margin; there is besides a slender inconspicuous 
lateral line on either side. 
Length of wings, ro.5-13 mm.; of legs in the largest specimen : 
fore femora, 8 mm. ; tibiz, 8.5 mm. ; tarsi, 14 mm. ; mid femora, 
7mm.; tibie, 8 mm. ; tarsi (not quite perfect), 12.5 mm.; hind 
femora, 7.5 mm. ; tibiz, 8.5 mm. ; tarsi, 13.5 mm.

Tipulidea reliquiz. 
Plo; fig. 5; 
Wings barely four times as long as broad, uncolored except for 
the distinct stigma. Inner marginal cell pretty regularly subfusi- 
form, about four times as long as broad. Discal cell somewhat 
smaller (not quite correctly given in the figure), about three times 
as long as broad. Petiole of second posterior cell generally very 
brief, and not one fourth the length of the discal cell, but some-
