Fam. TIPULIDÆ, _Haliday_.
Gen. LIMNOBIA, _Meigen_.
The following species, in the structure of the wing-veins, does not
accord with any of Meigen's divisions of the genus. The mediastinal
vein ends at about three-fourths of the length of the wing; the
subcostal ends at seven-eighths of the length, and is connected
with the radial by a transverse veinlet at its tip; the radial, the
cubital, and the 1st and the 3rd externo-medial are long and of equal
length; the 2nd externo-medial springs from the 1st, at one-fourth
of its length; the 3rd externo-medial is connected by a transverse
veinlet near its base with the subanal.
