which do not seem to have any yellow crossbands on the abdomen at 

 all; but their abdomen is very much sbrivelied and cannot be well 

 examined. 



JBriocera mansueta n. sp. g$. Five posterior cells; hody 

 hlach\ genitals orange red; a yellow crosshand on the second 

 abdominal segment; wings brown with a white crossband. Length: 

 about 12 mm. 



Body brownish-black; antennae brownish-yellow, darker at base and 

 sometimes at tip ; a yellow crossband occupies the proximal half of the 

 second abdominal segment; the other Segments are shining at the base, 

 velvet black, opaque on their distal half; genitals orange-red, as well 

 as the segment bearing the ovipositor. Kälteres dark-brown. Legs 

 brown. Wings brown, with a white crossband between the first and 

 fifth veins, close by the proximal end of the discal cell. Second posterior 

 cell unusually small, and its petiole long in proportion. (I should not 

 wonder if specimens occurred with only four posterior cells). — Two 

 males, one female. 



NB. The antennae of this species and of JE. perennis , in the 

 male, are of the short kind; not much longer than in the femäle. — 



Tipula pedata (Wied, A. Z. I, 45; Java). 



Two specimens from the Philippine Islands answer the description, 

 with some exceptions: ,,Ein kleiner, fast viereckiger Flecken des Mittel- 

 feldes" does not exist here. The thorax has three brown stripes; the 

 middle one bears a longitudinal brown line. The front femora have a 

 yellowish- white ring before the tip. The antennae are reddish-brown, 

 the joints of the flagellum dark-brown or black at base. I do not 

 recognize Wiedemann's description of the abdomen. Normal specimens 

 of T. pedata must be compared in order to decide of the specific 

 identity. 



This species has the complete venation of Tipula; the only 

 peculiarity consists in the close approximation of the auxiliary vein to 

 the first vein; it is with some difficulty that the auxiliary vein can be 

 Seen at all. — The antennae are 13-jointed, the nasus distinct, the 

 tibiae provided with short spurs etc. 



Pachyrrhina laconica n. sp. Q. The black thoracic 

 stripes are conßuent; collare black; metanotum black in the middle, 

 yellow on the sides; abdomen black, with yellow crossbands on 

 Segments 2 — 4. Length about 15 mm. (without ovip.)
