yellow or golden scales upon the head, instead of white as in C. japonicus 
Theob., by the absence of basal white bands dorsally on the abdomen, and 
by the median thoracic stripe being continued through the bare spot 
instead of on either side of it. 
FINLAYA ARANETANA, sp. nov. 
Length ¢ 4.5 millimeters, proboscis 2 millimeters, wings 2.75 mil- 
limeters; % 4.75 millimeters, proboscis 1.75 millimeters, wing 3. mil- 
limeters. General colors black, yellow, and grey-white, the ¢ having 
more yellow than the ?, the latter having much black. Legs strikingly 
banded in black and yellow and some white as will be indicated. A de- 
cided pattern is present on the dorsum of the abdomen of the ¢; that on 
the ? is less distinct. Wings in both sexes strongly spotted in black, 
yellow, and white, giving the appearance of a specimen of Anopheline. 
%, head with narrow, median area of narrow, curved, grey-white scales, 
external to which an area of brindled black and yellow, broad scales, then 
wide, white flat scales and an external area of wide, yellow scales; the 
median area thickly set with pale-yellow, erect, forked scales, together with 
some dark-fuscous ones near nape; eight to ten long, curved, golden 
bristles project over frons, coverging; 3 similar ones, equidistant on sides 
of head, project over eyes, the facets of which appear garnet; antenne 
pale, pilose and with dark-brown, golden-tipped whorls of bristles; first 
segment brown, nude except for a tuft of yellow broad scales on internal 
aspect. Second segment longer and stouter than third, which is the 
shortest of all except first; second bears a prominent apical band of semi- 
erect, black broad scales. Palpi very short, stout, composed of 5 seg- 
ments and densely clothed with irrorated black and yellow scales except 
at tip which is snow-white. Two large bristles project outward from the 
side of each palpus in addition to other smaller ones. Clypeus dark- 
brown, with a projecting anterior notched prominence (seen only in 
microscopical preparations). Proboscis clothed with black scales at 
base, a few white ones at tip and middle area with yellow, among which 
are numerous black ones, more abundant apically. Prothoracie lobes 
black, swollen ventrally, and covered with narrow, flat white scales. 
Mesothorax with black, yellow, and white, narrow curved seales in a defi- 
nite pattern, there being a grey-white median area near anterior margin, 
a similar elongated area over each shoulder and submedially forward of 
wing roots. The remainder of mesothorax with vellow, scaled areas, 
except a sub-median elongated area on each side of bare spot at posterior 
margin. Scutellum with flat scales, black medially on mid lobe, with 
some grey-white and yellow external to this and with black and yellow 
on lateral lobes; 6 long spines on mid and 2 on each of lateral lobes. 
Plure and coxe marked with 3 indistinct lines of white scales running 
cephalo-caudad. Metanotum brown, nude.
