Tanyderus neptunus n. sp. (Figs. 6, 123.) 
- Differs from T. forcipatus chiefly in wing-markings, the dark areas 
being more extensive and confluent; apart from this the veins are much

Probably the North Island representative of T. forcipatus ; it may be 
a mere individual or sexual variation, but by analogy with T. annuliferus 
and T. varipes one would not expect to find male wings so much darker 
than those of female. 
Tanyderus varipes n. sp. (Figs. 8, 9.) 
Allied to T. forcipatus, but smaller, and of stouter build, antennae, 
neck, legs, wings, and halteres being shorter than in T. forcipatus, this 
being especially noticeable in female sex. Front much broader in both 
pre-apical ring, preceded by an indistinct ochreous ring; tibiae broadly 
black at tips, a well-marked ochreous ring between the dark-brown basal 
on margin. Wing-markings of male somewhat lighter, and veins much 
thicker than those of female. Length of body, 10 mm., 9 14 mm. ; wing, 
d 10 mm., 2 13 mm. ; hind leg, 4 9 19 mm.

Subfamily BRUCHOMYIINAE. 
Genus NEMOPALPUS Масд. 
Dr. C. P. Alexander informs me that he possesses a wing of a new 
species of this genus from New Zealand. It is otherwise known only from 
E Recent and fossil species in the 
Palaearctic region, but may have 
been overlooked elsewhere. The 
allied genus Bruchomyia has re- 
cently been described by Alex- 
ander from South America, ка
