Appendix to the paper entitled New Genera and Species of North American Tipulidae with short palpi, &c. BY R. OSTEN SACKEN. The following are some additions and corrections to my paper, suggested by the examination of the entomological collections of the British Museum, the Jardin des Plantes, and the Museum of the University of Berlin, as well as of some private collections. The British Museum afforded me the desired information about the Lim-n o b i ae described by Mr. Walker in his " List of Specimens, etc." L. simulans Walk, is my Dicranomyia defuncta. Mr. Walker, (1. c. p. 45) describes this species as "pale yellow, legs yellow, tips of the thighs, of the shanks, and of the feet, black, " etc.; whereas, in reality, the body is cinereous, the legs are dark brown, almost black, with a whitish ring before the tip of the femora, etc. Mr. Walker's description was drawn from a single old and faded speci-men ; no wonder, therefore, that it could not be identified. L. badia Walk, seems to be my Dicranomyia humidicola. The only specimen in the British Museum is without leg9. The characteristic mark of the species, the white ring at the tip of the tibice, was therefore not mentioned in the description. (Walker, 1. c. p. 46.) Anisomera longicornis Walk, appears to be the species which I have identified for it. Not having seen Mr. Saunders's collection, I have not been able to identify the Limnobias ignobilis, prominens, biterminata, and t u r p i s de-scribed by Mr. Walker in the Diptera Saundersiana. In the Museum of Berlin I have found a considerable number of undeter-mined Limnobiae and Eriopterse from Georgia, most of which I have been able to identify with the species described in my paper. Only a few were new to me. I will give here a list of these species, as an addition to the knowledge of their geographical distribution. Some observations and corrections to my descriptions, especially when they were drawn from a limited number of speci-mens, may also find their place here. Limnophila adusta in two (^ ) specimens. The brown line in the middle of the thorax was hardly apparent. The tips of the femora were distinctly in-fuscated. Limnophila imbecilla(?) A single tf* specimen, which had the neura-tion of the wings, the long verticils, etc.. of said species, but the coloring of the body of which was somewhat different, namely, brownish ferruginous, shilling on I860.]
