М№овтн Istanp: Wilton’s Bush, Wellington, in forest, 11th December, 
1920 (6. V. Hudson, No. 185); type and one other male and one female 
in British Museum. 
This comes very close to D. planidigitalis Skuse in coloration, but the 
hypopygium is very different.

confined to South America. Two Australian species have indeed been

Ctenacroscelis ; the other (Tipula lateralis Walker) may be a true Tipula,

and agree with Ischnotoma serricornis in the strongly curved vein M, ; 
South American species than with I. serricornis, though it may be noted 
that the male of H. novarae approaches I. serricornis in having the 
flagellar joints somewhat enlarged on the under-side. The presence of 
a vein-stump in cell M in both H. novarae and H. fulva is noteworthy, 
but it is unlikely that this feature indicates any close relationship with 
Macromastiz maori, which possesses a similar stump. 
Hutton has pointed out that in both the New Zealand species r-m is 
placed exactly at the apex of Rs; but this is not quite constant, as I 
have seen specimens of Н. novarae in which R,;, has a basal section 
almost equalling r- in length.
