now referred to M. sinclairi, described above. I have selected the fourth 
specimen as the type of M. obscuripennis, because it is the only one which 
agrees with Kirby's wet that the middle thoracic stripes are divided 
by a narrow pale lin

Allied to Macromastiz, and agreeing with that genus in its venation 
in position, not mem: and twisted to one side as in Macromastiz ; 
(3) the ovipositor has long horny anal valves as in Tipula, Holorusia, 
This genus is боебой for the es species Tipu Jap woe Hudson, 
which cannot be лічу mad placed in Манна ir, on account of the 
horny ovipositor ; in Ho ia, on account of the venation of the male ; 
or in Longurio or Tipula, on account of the absence of verticils on the 
antennae. I have much pleasure in dedicating the genus to Mr. G. V. 
Hudson, the discoverer and тонн of the type species. I do not 
consider the name Hudsonia to be preoccupied by Hudsonius Gir., 1856

The reduction of the female antennae is very interesting, and seems to 
foreshadow the somewhat similar condition in the Brachycera. I do not 
know of another case among the Nematocera in which reduction of the 
wings is accompanied by reduction of the antennae.
