This is closely allied to H. novarae, differing principally in having the 
whole apex of the wing rather conspicuously darkened. A slight difference 
in the male hypopygium supports the specific distinction. The flagell

Genus Loneurio Lw. 
The differences between Longurio Lw., Acracantha Skuse, Aeshnasoma 
Johnson, and Austrotipula Alex. appear to me too trivial to be treated 
as generic, and I therefore propose to include all four in the genus 
Longurio. Thus understood, the genus is still a very small one, but with 
representatives in all the chief regions of the world except Europe and 
па АП the species appear to be rare. In antennal structure 
e New Zealand species are more like the Formosan L. rubriceps Edw., 
- the Chinese L. fulvus Edw., than the Australian species, but the 
reverse is the case in regard to venation; the nearest ally, however, 
appears to be the North American L. rivertonensis (Johnson).

In this species, the giant among New Zealand crane-flies, the wings 
are strongly and almost uniformly brown-tinged, the veins distinctly paler 
than the ground-colour; cell M, is broadly sessile; the femora have a
