& Yang, 1992, T. (V.) himalayensis Brunetti, 1911, T. (V.)
quasimarmoratipennis Brunetti, 1912 and T. (V.) reposita Walker, 1848 are
redescribed and illustrated based on additional morphological characters. Tipula
(V.) quasimarmoratipennis and T. (V.) reposita are listed as new records for
the Chinese fauna. Male of T. (V.) quasimarmoratipennis and females of T. (V.)
alyxis, T. (V.) guibifida and T. (V.) himalayensis are illustrated for the
