Psychodidae.—This small ene. a moth-like flies has only 
attracted attention of recent years so far as the eastern species 
go. Dr. Annandale has indited several short papers on the 
seam of India and Ceylon and described some new 
species and varieties. I have dealt with this family on three 
Occasions.* Forty species occur in the East. 
Dixidae.—Only the five species introduced by me in 1911 
are known. 
Tipulidae.—With the exception of the Culicidae, un- 
doubtedly a larger proportion of new species have been des-

be noted, representing approximately the number of species
