Buxton and Ho2)kins ; judging from the number of S2)eciniens sent, these must form the dominant element in the cranefly fauna. All these species belong to the subgenus Mon- goma, as do most of the other known Australasian S2)ecies of the genus, although one s])ecies of the subgenus Trentepolilia is known to occur in Fiji. The following key will separate the described Australasian species of the subgenus Mongonm: 1. Entirely ])ale yellow ....... Dark, at least abdomen brown ..... 2. Tibiae wliite-tipjjed ....... Legs dark, tarsi sometimes lighter ..... 3. Femora not white-tiijped; middle tibia(' with fringe of white hair at tijis ....... Femora not white-tpij^ed ; middle tibiae not fringetl 4.
