Epwarps.—Preliminary Revision of the Crane-flies of New Zealand. 329 
South Istanp: West Plains, RTS (G. V. Hudson, NS 2244; 
type male in British Museum. West Plains, 20th November, 2 (A. 
Philpott); one male in Cawthron Institute oe a with шыш 
exactly as in type, but antennal formula 2 + 3 + 29 + 2. 
A third male, in British Museum, from Mount Aurum, Wakatip u аж 
streak running from base of cell К to middle of cell R,, its lower edge 
straight rae for a slight enlargement over r-m; wing-tip somewhat 
darkened. Basal section of R,,; about five times as long as r-m. This 
may be called C. pulverulenta var. striata; I do not think it can represent 
a distinct species. 
Cerozodia hudsoni n. sp. (Fig. 95.) 
d. Antennal formula 2--3--25 + 3; centres of flagellar era 
darkened (more so than in the other species). Thoraz bla ckish-brown 
T ураш blackish-brown, without darker lateral stripes, and without 
grey dusting, except on first tergite. Ninth tergite with a 
rather се emargination than in the other gone but otherwise the 
structure of hypopygium is very similar. Legs uniformly dark brown, 
ochreous tinge; costal cell and stigma scarcely darker; narrow clear 
streaks along centres of Быга! cells, the upper one crossing into the discal. 
Cell M, just sessile on one wing, with a very short stalk on the other. 
Cu, joining the discal cell just before its apex. Length of body, 21 mm. ; 
wing, 17 x 5 mm. ; front leg, 37 mm. 
Р Colo of ‘of body as in male. Flagellum of antennae entirely 
blackened, with twenty-four joints ; the first fifteen with "- ventral pro- 
jections, the longest of which are scarcely longer than joints; remaining 
joints (except the more elongate terminal one) slightly enlarged ventrally. 
Abdomen very broad in middle. Anal valves of ovipositor stout, curved, 
half as long again as long terminal segment. gs much shorter and 
stouter than in male and with somewhat longer pubescence ; front femora 
much thickened on outer two-thirds. Wings a little shorter than thorax ; 
venation atrophied, except for costa and R,. Halteres normal, darker 
in colour than in male. Length of body, 23 mm.; wing, 3mm.; front 
leg, 22-5 mm. 
Norta Istanp: Wainuiomata, Wellington, beaten from tree-ferns, 
llth February, 1921 (G. V. Hudson, No. 147); type male in Britis h 
Museum, allotype female in Mr. Hudson's collection. A second male in 
British Museum (6. V. Hudson, No. 1475) is rather lighter in colour, and 
са M has a longer stem ; the wing of this specimen is figured. 
Subfamily TIPULINAE. 
t has been customary to divide this subfamily into three tribes— 
Dolicho opezini, Tipulini, and Ctenophorini—but the distinctions between 
at least the first two of these are so unsatisfactory that I can see no 
justification for their retention. No representatives of the Ctenophorini 
nor of the genus Tipula (in its present extent) have vet been discovered 
in New Zealand.
