and since the type species has hairs at the tip of the wing, it seems quest- 

 ionable whether the name Procladius might not have been applied to 

 TricJiotanypiis or Clinotanypus. 



Clinotanypus obscuripes (de Meij.). 



Buitenzorg, 27. 111. 1921, 1 $ (SlEBERS). 



This species has the cordiform fourth tarsal segment characteristic of 

 the genus Clinotanypus. The same may be said of Wiedemann's 

 Tanypus crux, which is also represented in the collection. 



Subfamily Ceratopogoninac. 



Forcipomyia karnyi, sp. n. 



Head dark brown above and behind, face yellowish. Eyes almost touching. 

 Palpi rather dark brown, the second segment not much swollen, about 

 half as long again as the first and about equal in length to the last two together, 

 these only indistinctly separated. Antennae with the torus dark brown, flagelluni rather 

 lighter. First eight flagellar segments together nearly twice as long as the last five; 

 the first two nearly globular, the next six gradually more elongate, segments 7 and 8 

 with rather stout necks which are almost as long as the slightly more swollen basal 

 portion. Verticil hairs about twice as long as the segments, less numerous on the last 

 five segments. Thorax uniformly dark brown on the chitinised parts, the membranous 

 areas of the pleurae whitish. Mesonotum with moderately long and rather scanty golden- 

 brown hair. Abdomen with the tergites and sternites brown, rather lighter than the 

 thorax, membrane whitish, both plates and membrane clothed with rather short brown 

 hair. Lamellae of ovipositor nearly circular, white, with whitish hair about twice as 

 long as the lamella. Legs with the ground colour pale ochrecus; all the femora with 

 a broad but ill-defined dark brown ring near the base, occupying rather less than half 

 the femur; tibiae with the apical half more or less darkened, especially on the middle 

 legs; tarsi somewhat darkened. Hind tibiae with long hairs on the dorsal surface nearly 

 4 times as long as the diameter. First segment of front and mid tarsi about one-half 

 longer than the second, of hind tarsi scarcely one-tenth longer than the second. Wings 

 rather densely clothed with close-lying hair, uniformly dark brown in colour except 

 towards the base of the costa, where it is pale. Costa extending just to the middle of 

 the wing. Radial cells both very narrow, the second slightly broader and slightly longer 

 than the first. Cubitus forking below the base of the second radial cell. Haltères white. 



Length of body, 2 mm., wing 1.6 mm.

Type 2 in the British Museum. 



This is nearly related to, and just possibly identical with, F. vexans 

 (de Meij.) described from Sumatra. De Meijere's species however is smaller, 

 and he says nothing about dark rings on the femora. I cannot trace the 

 present species among the very numerous descriptions of species of this 

 genus from other parts of the Oriental region published by Kieffer»
