THE ANNALS AND MAGiZINE OF NATURAL HISTOEY. [EIGHTH SERIES.] No. 105. SEPTEMBER 1916. XXVILI. — yew and little-known TipulidfB, chiefly from Formosa. By F. W. EDWARDS, B.A., F.E.S. (Published by permission of the Trustees of the British ^Euseum.) [Plate XCI.] I RECENTLY received for examination from Dr. T. Sliiraki, Chief Eritomoloo-ist at the Agricultural Experiment Station in Formosa, a collection of Tipulidae from that island. So far as I am aware, only seven species of crane-flies have hitherto been recorded from Formosa, and it is therefore not surprising that this collection, the results of the study of which are set forth below, contained a large proportion of new and interesting forms. The types of all the new For-mosan species described here, with the exception of that of Tipula shirakil, have been generously presented to the British Museum collection by Dr. Shiraki. Descriptions of a few other related forms already in the Museum's possession have been included. Most of the new species from Formosa were collected at Arisan, a mountain locality 8000 feet above sea-level. LiMNOBIINM. LiMNOBIINI. Dicranomyia fullowayi, Alex. 2 ? , Arisan, 10. x. 1912 (7. Xitohe). These specimens agree sufficiently well with Alexander's Ann. <& Mag. N. Hist. Ser. 8. Vol. xviii. 17 /
