UNDESCRIBED SPECIES OF CRANE-FLIES FROM 
NEW GUINEA IN THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM 
(DIPTERA; TIPULIDAE) 
By Dr. CHARLES P. ALEXANDER, UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS,

Summary 
I am much indebted to the Director and Trustees of the South Australian Museum for 
the opportunity to study a collection of Tipulidae made in the Torricelli Mountains in 
North-east New Guinea. This small but interesting series of flies has added several 
new species to those known from the island, the types being preserved in the South 
Australian Museum. The collection was made by the distinguished collector and 
explorer, Miss Lucy Evelyn Cheesman, whose paper, “The Border Mountains and 
Torricelli Range of Northern New Guinea,” Geographical Journal, 1941, p. 170, ff, 
should be consulted.
