THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 133 



Habitat. — Camp Stotsenberg, Angeles, Pampanga, Luzon, P. I. 

 Taken Sept. ? 



Described from one perfect specimen sent by Dr. Whitmore. 



While the flat scales suggest Stegomyia, the general appearance of the 

 insect is quite against it, the shaggy head bearing no resemblance to the 

 neat appearance of Stegomyia. It is a small mosquito, and the scales on 

 the head, scutellum and wing out of all proportion to the size of the insect, 

 giving it a generally ragged look, so that though I have not been able to 

 demonstrate the peculiar ungual features of Anisocheleomyia, I feel fairly 

 sure it belongs to that genus. 



Tceniorhynchus /itieatope?inis, n. sp. — ? . Head dark brown, with 

 brassy yellow curved scales on median portion and extending from occiput 

 to vertex, light bristles projecting forward, dark brown flat lateral scales, and 

 a few forked scales, some light and some dark, on the occiput; antennae dark 

 brown, verticels dark brown, pubescence also dark, but appearing light in 

 certain positions, basal joint brown; palpi dark brown, and quite hairy ; 

 proboscis dark brown ; clypeus dark brown ; eyes brown and silver. 



Thorax : prothoracic lobes dark brown, with a (tvf dark brown 

 bristles, no scales ; mesonotum dark brown^ the median portion covered 

 with dark brown curved scales bordered by a heavy band of brassy yellow 

 curved scales, extending cephalad from one wing joint (inverted " U ") 

 across to the other, a very distinct and easily-recognized marking. The 

 brown curved scales on the mesonotum near the scutellum appear in some 

 lights white, and this seems characteristic of the brown scales all over the 

 insect ; pleura brown and clothed only with a few brown hairs; scutellum 

 dark brown, with brassy yellow curved scales and a few light bristles ; 

 yellow bristles at the vving joint, and two sparsely-get rows on the 

 mesonotum ; metanotum dark brown. 



Abdomen dark brown, with broad basal bands of "dirty white"' scales 

 hardly extending the full width of the terga; the first segment is dark, and 

 the second has merely a median light spot, while on the ultimate segment 

 the band is quite narrow ; venter dark. 



Legs are brown throughout ; coxae and trochanters and ventral side 

 of femora somewhat lighter than the rest, a light spot near the apex of fore 

 femora on dorsal side, /. e., the ventral colour runs up, but all the scales 

 show much change of colour in different lights ; the tibite and more distal 

 joints are darker, ranging from purplish to fawn colour, according to the 

 angle of the light, and under hand lens may seem even brassy. All 

 ungues simple and equal.
