 area similar to that of catana, but not so large, scarcely 

 entering into cell, reaching proximal half of vein 3, rounded 

 costally, remaining some 3 mm. from termen, reaching inner 

 margin. Hind wing: faint traces of the blue circumcellular 

 spots. 



1 c^, Merauke, 1912 (Rev. J. Viegen, M.S.C.). 



It is interesting to note the resemblance in the darkening 

 process which exists between this new form and the Merauke 

 race of Euploea alecto, Butl. (cf, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (9) 

 xi. p. 182, 1923). 



LXXIT. — Neio Species of Crane-flies collected by Mr. G. V. 

 Hudson in New Zealand. By F. W. EDWARDS. 



(Publislied by permission of tlie Trustees of the British Museum.) 



The seven new crane-flies described below were included 

 in a very interesting collection received from Mr. Hudson in 

 the spring of 1922, and form a very valuable addition to the 

 already extensive series previously presented by him to the 

 National Collection, besides furnishing additional evidence 

 of the extensive and varied crane-fly fauna of New Zealand. 

 The forms here described appear distinct from all those 

 recently made known by Alexander, and bring the total 

 number of New Zealand species to just about 300. 



Tanyderus marginatuSj sp. n. 



Head heavily dusted with light ochreous, and clothed with 

 long brown hair. Proboscis and palpi dark brown, the 

 former nearly twice as long as the head and rather longer 

 than the neck. Eyes almost but not quite touching above 

 the antennse. Antennae with the scape dark brown; flagellum 

 light brown, the segments all cylindrical, practically equal in 

 length, and with rather inconspicuous pubescence, which is 

 scarcely as long as the diameter of the segments (in T. annu- 

 liferus it is distinctly longer). Neck long and slender, dark 

 brown. Thorax : pronotum dark brown in the middle, 

 ochreous at the sides. Mesonotum with the ground-colour 

 light grey, the three brown stripes just separated, long but 

 inconspicuous brown hair along the interspaces. Scutellum
