03BE87B54B0CFFDFFEAFFCA2FE4FFC70.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. We compared the new species with all known congeneric species based on published descriptions and illustrations, and found that it is most similar to the Indian species T. (S.) bhishma, by the presence of long lobes on tergite nine. It can be easily distinguished from the latter by the shape of outer gonostylus which lacks a finger-like rod and is equipped apically with black setae, as illustrated in Figures 12 – 13 (produced into a slender finger-like rod in inner margin and without black setae on apex in T. (S.) bhishma as described by ALEXANDER (1964: 105 )).	en	Men, Qiu-Lei, Xue, Guo-Xi, Yang, Xue-Meng (2016): Two new species of subgenusSivatipula from China (Diptera: Tipulidae: Tipula).

03BE87B54B09FFDEFE48FC67FCAEFAF0.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. We compared the new species with all known congeneric species, based on published descriptions and illustrations, and found that it is most similar to T. (S.) biprocessa, another species recorded from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China, by the color of body and the structures of hypopygium. It can be easily distinguished from the latter by the shallowly emarginated posterior margin of tergite nine, which bears two finger-like processes covered with many black setae as illustrated in Figures 23 – 24 (posterior margin of tergite nine rounded, with two finger-like processes lacking black setae in T. (S.) biprocessa as figured in XUE & MEN (2016: Fig. 18 )). There is also a noticeable difference in the shape of outer gonostylus, which is curved squarely on apical one-third in new species, but bent obtusely on apical two-fifths in T. (S.) biprocessa.	en	Men, Qiu-Lei, Xue, Guo-Xi, Yang, Xue-Meng (2016): Two new species of subgenusSivatipula from China (Diptera: Tipulidae: Tipula).
