about the same number on each of the forks of Vein IV; those on the 
forks of II are much more numerous but never more than 20. The 
subcostal and Vein I are more densely clothed with rather short, truncated 
laterals on both sides. The most striking difference is seen in Vein, V1 
in the two sexes, that of the ¢ being almost nude while in the 2 it is 
clothed to the distal angle or point of union with the margin. 
Specimens found here differ also from the type in having greyish- 
brown antennal plumes in the d. A noteworthy feature of the o palpi 
is the presence of a kind of elbow a little before the middle of the first 
joint, which gives them the appearance of having been broken and anchy- 
losed. I have seen no reference to this in literature and have noted it on 
no drawings. It may account for the missing segments of the palpi of 
this and other species in which I have noticed its presence. I agree with 
Theobald in his assertion that “the palpi, both ¢ and @ are strikingly 
different in this species and that it may therefore have to go into another 
genus.” I hesitate to call this a variety of C. luteolateralis Theob., until 
I have seen specimens of the original, but the fresh specimens that 
I have obtained show differences as marked as those between Stegomyia 
scutellaris Walk. and S. sculellaris samarensis Ludl. 
Length, 4.5 to 5 mm.

Time of capture: 25-31 July, 1906. 
This mosquito has the habit of constantly moving its hind legs up 
and down over its back while at rest upon the very low shrubbery and” 
grass where it delights to hide. It settles and bites readily and also bites 
when confined in vials.
