Amherst. Mass.x

The majority of the species described at this time are frorn
Santa Barbara and Villarica, Paraguay, where they were collected by my friend, Mr. F. Schade. Other specimens discussed at this time are ftom Argent'ina, coTlectedby Dr. Carlos
Bruch and Dr. Alexander Wetmore; Colombia, included incollections sent for naming by Mr. C. Howard Curran; Ecuad,or,
taken by Mr. G. H. H. Tate; Paraguay, taken by Fiebrig,
contained in the Vienna Museum and kindly sent to me forstqdy by the Custodian of the Diptera, Dr. Hans Zerny; Peru,
collected by Parish and by von'Winthem, the latter specimens
likewise included in the old collections of the Vienna Museuml
Venezuela,collected by E. B. and J. H. Williamson and W. H.
f express my sincere thanks to all of the aboveDitzler.
named gentlemen for this cooperation in making known thevast Tipulid fauna of the Neotropical Region. Except wherestated to the contrary, the types are pleserved in the writer's
collection.
A considerable proportion of the species are from Santa
Barbara, Paraguay. I am indebted to Mr. Schade for thefollowing notes concerning this iocality:"The best area for collecting hereaboutsis undoubtedly that ofSanta Barbara, 20 kilos. northeast of Villarica, just where the virginforest beginsto extend via Couyuasuup to the Parana River vis-a-vis
the Iyrraru Rapids. The country is moderately hilly and about 300
meters high. It is mostly virgin forest, with large and smal1rivers.
The country is a1luvia1and dil1uvia1,respectively, and only in thenorth sranite is found."-F. Schad.e.
