The Philippine journal of science. [Vol. 57, no. 1]

57, 1 Alexander: Tipulide from Eastern Asia, XXV 117 number, most persistent as a loose series on R4+5; in some species, as gavronskii, the trichia are more abundant. Abdomen often depressed. Male hypopygium of simple structure; tergite and sternite separate; eighth sternite unarmed. Terminal abdominal segments in female abruptly narrowed, the ovipositor very small; cerci moderately elongate and only weakly sclerotized, with smooth margins; hypovalvae small and compressed. The subgenus is distinguished from Vestiplex chiefly by the long, pale body vestiture, the unusually glabrous nature of the wing veins, and the structure of the ovipositor. Tipula tundrensis is aberrant in the subgenus and may possibly be better referred to Vestiplex despite the smooth-margined cerci. The species are chiefly far northern in their distribution.

Antennae short to elongate, in males of many species with flagellar segments very strongly incised; verticils of moderate length. Frontal prolongation of head elongate; nasus present or lacking. Thoracic pleura usually glabrous, in cases (as arctica) with numerous setre on sternopleurite. Tibial spur formula 1-2-2; claws (male) simple or with basal tooth (as arctica); legs usually stout, especially in females. Squama naked; branches of M with sparse to more abundant trichia. Venation: R1+2 entire; Rs long, fully one-half longer than m-cu or often considerably longer; m-cu at or close to fork of M3+4 and approximately opposite one-third to one-half the length of cell 1st M2. Male hypopygium in many species with the posterior half of tergite forming a shallow saucer, in some species heavily sclero
