New Species of Crane Flies from South America. Part VII (Family Tipulidae, Order Diptera)

Abstract

The majority of the species described at this time are from Brazil , where they were chiefly included in shipments of these flies received from Messrs. Parish and Schade, a few others having been collected by Davis and Shannon. Still further material was taken by Mr. Shannon in Argentina and Peru and is now contained in the United States National Museum. Still fewer specimens are from Paraguay where they were taken by Mr. Schade. I am greatly indebted to all of the above-mentioned entomologists for their continued interest in developing the crane-fly fauna of Tropical America. Except where indicated to the contrary, the types of the novelties are preserved in my private collection of these flies.
