AST. 2 NEW UNDESCRIBED CRANE FLIES — ^ALEXANDER 13 



cell M-i^ longer than its petiole. The right wing of the type shows 

 an adventitious cross vein in the axil of Rs. 



Abdominal tergites dark brown, the sternites somewhat paler; 

 hypopygium with the basistyles dark brown, the dististyles yellow, 

 Male hypopygium of the general type of L. adusta. Outer dis- 

 tistyles appearing as flattened blades, the outer apical angle of 

 each being further produced into a long, gently curved, fmger- 

 like point that lies along the longitudinal axis of the style. Inner 

 dististyle broad based, the distal two-thirds strongly narrowed, 

 thence reduced in diameter to the tip, without a conspicuous shoulder 

 on the outer margin near midlength, as in adusta. Aedeagus and 

 the subtending gonapophyses very long and slender, as in the group. 



Habitat. — British Columbia. 



Holotype. — ^Male, Prince Kupert, June 17, 1919 (H. G. Dyar). 



Ty^e.— Male, Cat. No. 40326, U. S. N. M. 



LIMNOPHILA (PHYLIDOREA) MICROPHALLUS, new species 



General coloration shiny ferruginous, the abdomen of the male 

 without a dark subterminal ring ; femora almost uniformly yellow, 

 the tips very vaguely darkened ; male hypopygium with the aedeagus 

 and subtending apophyses small and slender. 



Male. — ^Length about 8 mm. ; wing, 9.5 mm. 



Rostrum and palpi brown. Antennae with the basal segment dark 

 brown, the second segment brownish yellow; basal segments of the 

 flagellum yellow, the terminal segments slightly more infuscated. 

 Head dark, presumably gray pruinose in fresh specimens. 



Thorax shiny ferruginous, without markings, the surface very 

 sparsely pruinose. Halteres pale, the knobs slightly infuscated. 

 Legs with the coxae and trochanters reddish ferruginous ; remainder 

 of legs yellow, the tips of the femora and tibiae very insensibly 

 darkened; terminal tarsal segments dark brown. Wings with a 

 yellowish tinge, the stigma elongate oval, dark brown; distal three- 

 fourths of cell G infumed; wing apex distinctly darkened; narrow 

 and ill-defined seams along the cord and vein Cu-^^ ; veins brown, paler 

 in the costal region. Venation : Cell M.^ about equal to its petiole ; 

 cell -first M2 elongate. 



Abdomen yellowish ferruginous, without darker markings. Male 

 hypopygium of the same general structure as L. fumidicosta Alex- 

 ander. Outer dististyle broadly flattened, the apical portion suddenly 

 narrowed and blackened, the tip weakly bifid. Inner dististyle with 

 the curved apical portion short. Bifid gonapophyses with the lateral 

 spine long and slender, acute, the axial spine a little longer but 

 slender, the blackened tip acutely pointed. Aedeagus and subtend-
