ThE present paper is based largely upon Limoniinm from themountainous sections of Hokkaido and Honshiu, Japa~,
where they were takeu by my friend Professor Teiso Es~Lki.
A few additional species are from Kiushiu, taken by
Professor Hori, and from the vicinity of Kofu, Japan, takenI)y Mons. de Lezey, and contained i n the collection o~ theParis Museum.
Except where stated to the contrary,
the types are preserved in the eo.lleetior~ of the writer
through the great kindness of the collectors.

d)icranomyia mesoster~mtoides, sp. n.
Mule.--Length about 7"5 ram. ; wing 9 ram.
Very similar to D. mesosternata, Alexander (Yapa@,
differing as follows : Wings with the brown pattern more extensive, the spotsat origin of Rs and mid-length of cell Se reaching vein M ;band along the eord broad and diffuse, eontinued basad
along vein M ; wing-apex more extensively darkened;
marginal spots on anal veins larger and more diffuse.
Male hypopygium with the ventral dististyle produced
into a long slender rostrum, the spines very lo~Lg and widely
separated from one another, the outer spine on the extreme
tip of the rostrum a little longer than the other spine andgently curved ; the second spine is on the face of the styleitself, at the base of the rostrum, ari,~ing from a small
papilla, approximately straight. Dorsal dististyle strongly
curved, the apex feebly expanded into a small head.
