MARINE INSECTS OF THE TOKARA ISLANDS -I. MARINE CRANEFLIES (DIPTERA, TIPULIDAE)-

The present study was undertaken under the direction of Prof. Dr. Masaaki TOKUNAGA on the materials collected by Messrs. Syoiti MIYAMOTO, Takehiko NAKANE and Shun-ichi UENO at the coral reef and rocky shore of the islands There have hitherto been known 18 species of marine Tipulids, including 4 Japanese species of Idioglochina and Dicranomyia respectively. The marine cranefties from the Tokara Islands are identified with Limonia (Idioglochina) tokunagai ALEXANDER and Limonia (Dicranomyia) tokara n. sp. Thus, at present I intend to report a new marine cranefty with its description. I express my cordial thanks to Prof. Dr. Masaaki TOKUNAGA and Mr. Mitsuhiro SASAKAWA of Saikyo University, for their useful suggestions on this investigation. I am also indebted to Messrs. Syoiti MIYAMOTO, Takehiko NAKANE and Shun-ichi UENO, members of the Tokara Expedition, for their kindness in collecting the materials. Further, I wish to express my thanks to Miss Etsuko KOMYO for her kind help given on this study
