24 AUSTRALASIAN ANTAROTIC EXPEDITION. 
The larvee of different genera of Crambine being closely similar, it is not possible 
to indicate the generic position of the larva here described. 
In 1909, Meyrick (9) described a new genus, Protyparcha, and new species P. 
scaphodes, belonging to the sub-family Crambine, from open tussock-grass country 
at Carnley Harbour, Auckland. It seems very probable that the caterpillar here 
described may belong to a species of this or of some closely related genus. 
The specimen is placed in tube No. Co. 5, in 70 per cent. alcohol, and has been 
deposited in the Australian Museum, Sydney, together with the types of the other 
species dealt with in this paper. 
Order : DIPTERA. 
Sub-order : NEMOCERA. 
Family: Treutipa. | 
(Text-figs. 18-20.) 
This family is represented in the Collection by a single larva and by seven pup. 
The former is contained in tube No. X. 3, with the following Collector’s note :— 
“Larva. Probably of species of Tipula, from stagnant pool near Huts. North End, 
Macquarie Island. 30.7.12. In 4 percent. formalin.” The pup are contained in 
tube No. Co. 6, with the following Collector’s note :—‘Pupx. Of Tipula species. 
Found protruding from mud in stagnant pool: North End, Macquarie Island. Jan. 
29th, 1913. In 70 per cent. alcohol.” 
From the dates and localities given, it seems exceedingly probable that the 
larva and pup both belong to one and the same species of Tipulid.

Text-fig. 18 shows a profile view of the larva, which is 10:5 mm. long, and 
probably not fully grown. I have indicated the course of the alimentary canal, which
