The genus Neosqtiamomyia was founded partly on the male 

 genitalia, the other characters agreeing with Armigeres. 



When proposing the genus, I was unaware that similar char- 

 acters were to be found in species of the genus Arniiyeres^ notably 

 A. malayi Leicester. 



Edwards* notes the similarity of A. malayi Leic, and K. 

 breinli Taylor, and suggests that the correct position for the 

 latter species is in Armiyeres, a decision with which I quite agree. 

 The two species are distinct, but certainly closely related. 



PSEUDOSKUSEA CAIRNSENSIS, Sp.n. 



9. Head clothed with black, flat, and upright-forked si'ales; 

 palpi dusky; antennae dark brown; proboscis black. 



Thorax dark reddish-brown with brown scales, scutellum 

 similar; pleurae brown, with white, flat scales. 



Abdomen black-scaled, unhanded, segments three to the apex 

 with basal, lateral, white patches; venter pale-scaled. 



Legs black, unhanded; ungues equal and simple. 

 • Wings brown-scaled; first fork-cell longer and narrower than 

 the second, its base nearer the base of the wing; stem of first 

 fork-cell one-third the length of its cell, stem of second fork-cell 

 slightly more than half the length of its cell; anterior basal cro.ss- 

 vein longer than, and twice its own length distant from, the 

 anterior cross- vein. Length, 1

Described from a single specimen bred from a mixed lot of 

 larvae. It is readily distinguished from P. multij^hx Theobald, 

 on venational characters, ungues, and the abdominal spots. It 

 differs from P. basalis Taylor, in not having a banded abdomen.
