THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 99 



shorter and narrower than the 2nd posterior ; supernumerary cross-vein 

 slightly shorter than the mid, which it meets ; posterior equal to mid and 

 distant twice its own length. Halteres light. Length, 4-4.5 mm. 



Habitat. — Angeles Pampanga, Luzon, P. L Taken Sept. ? . 



Described from several specimens sent by Dr. Whitmore. 



A well-marked Taeniorhynchus, and the white scaled head and thorax 

 and speckled femora make it easily differentiated from the other species, 

 though at first glance it suggests T. tefiax, Theob. 



Stegomyia Gardnerii, n. sp. — 9 • Head densely covered with broad 

 flat brown and white scales. A very broad median white stripe from occi- 

 put to vertex, with a dark brown somewhat triangular brown spot on either 

 side, bordered by white and followed laterally by a brown and then a white 

 stripe; a few bristles around the eyes, projecting forward, two bristles 

 betv/een the eyes; very few or no fork scales; antennae dark brown, 

 verticels and pubescence dark brown, basal joint dark brown, heavily 

 covered with flat white scales ; palpi dark brown with brilliant white tip ; 

 proboscis brown ; eyes brown, and a white rim around them made of 

 smaller^ perhaps spindle-shaped, but not true curved scales. 



Thorax : Prothoracic lobes brown, with white flat scales ; mesonotum 

 brown covered densely on the median portion, so- as to occupy about one 

 third the width of the mesonotum, with dark brown spindle-shaped scales 

 (bronze iridescence), a few curved white scales on the cephalic edge, and 

 laterad, a broad white stripe extending about one half the length of the 

 mesonotum, brown scales exterior to this ; a large white spot in front of 

 the wing joint; the caudad half of the mesonotum is dark brown, with a 

 short median line of fine white or yellowish scales, and a short indefinite 

 line on each side, just in front of the scutellum, and here the scales become 

 very long, curved and spatulate flat scales^ so they fringe out over the 

 scutellum. Scutellum brown, covered witli long spatulate flat scales; 

 brown scaled at the base, with a broad white border on the apical edge; 

 pleura brown, with heavy bunches of white scales; metanotum brown. 



Abdomen heavily covered with rather large flat brown iridescent 

 scales, white basal lateral spots of varying sizes on most of the segments 

 and four white dorsal basal spots — one on the penultimate — is lacking 

 on the antepenultimate, and present on the three segments cephalad to 

 this. Ventrally there are heavy white basal spots, so that the venter is at 

 least half white scaled.
