THE INSECT FAUNA OF MT. ISHIZUCHI AND
olvloco VALLEY, IYO, JAPANTHE TIPULIDAE (DIPTERA)
By Ch.arlesP. Alexander
Universitl' c,f tr{assacirusetts,Ami:erst, Massaci:usetts'Ihrough the kind invitation of Professor Tamotsu Ishihara I am nrivileged
to prepare the list of species of crane-flies (Tipulidae, Diptera) at present
known from tire Omogo Valley and Mount Ishizuchi. The accompanying
record includes 108 species at present known to me from this area, or slightly more than one-half of those so far discovered in Shikoku. I.'rom its great
diversity of habitats suitable to the life histories of members of this familyof flies, it is evident that very many further species will be discovered here
ancl it seems certain that the area will be found to be one of the richest inJapan, or, indeed, anywheres in comparable latitudes in the \\'orld. It isgreatly to be desired and hoped that this prolific region may be set aside asa conserved area wherein the rich fauna and flora will be continued in an
undisturbed condition.
Our present satisfactory knowledge of the Tipulidae of Shikoku resultsfrom the very intensive efforts of a relatively small number of most capable
Japanese entomologists. Those who have collected in the Omogo'Ishizuchi
region include primarily I'rofessors Syuti Issiki and Syusiro Ito who were
there betw-eenJune 7 and ll, 1951,and l'rofessor 126etsu Ishihara and Mr.
Mutsuo Miyatake, with Mr. Toshiro Yano, who have visited the area manytimes in the past and whose extensive collections, made particularly in 195?,
have first demonstrated the richness of the Omogo Valley. Other membersof the Shikoku Entomological Society, including Messrs.' Tadao Edashige,'fakashi
Kobayashi, Hiroyuki Kusunoki, Terunori Mohri and Isao Tomari;have participated in this survey. It appears from my records that the earliest
specimens taken in this region were by Professor C. Harukawa in August 1925'
r+'ith ftrrther materials being collected by Issiki a few years later. The major
proportion of the species have been added since 1950. I am greatly indebted
to all of my entomolo.gicalfriends and co-workers who have added so muchto our knowledge of the Tipulidae of Omogo Valley and Mount Ishizuchi.

I take unusual pleasure in dedicating this handsome crane-fly to thecollector, Professor Tamotsu Ishihara, distinguished Hemipterist. The mostsirnilar regional species is Ti\ula (Orecnuza) quzdrifasciata Matsumura, 1916,

This distinct fly is named for Mr. Toshiro Yano, in appreciation of his
efforts to make known the insect fauna of Shikoku. I arn uncertain as to thesubgeneric position of the species. In some details of the venation, as thelong m-cu, and the male hypopygiurn, it suggests the subgenus Schutnmelia
Edwards brrt in other features of the venation, as the atrophied Rr+g andelongate cell lst M.:, it more closely resembles species of the subgenus
Oreomlza Pokorny. There are no very close relatives known to me thoughsuperficially the fly somewhat suggests species such as Tifula (Schammelia)
jocosifennis Alexander and others.
