830 AUSTRALIAN CULICIDiE, iv., 



that Skuse's species has the apical lateral spots on all the 

 abdominal segments, and not only on the sixth to eighth seg- 

 ments, as stated in ray paper (1914). The Ingleburn specimens 

 show that the spots vary somewhat in size on the basal segments, 

 so that they were either overlooked in the type, or the abdomen 

 was partially abraded. 



There is also no doubt at all that Stegomyia punctolateralis 

 Theobald, is the same as M. cUripes (Skuse). ^S'. punctuIateraHs 

 Theob., was unknown to me, except from description, when I 

 stated (1914) that the two were different species; but, since then. 

 Dr. Bancroft has presented a series of both sexes to the Institute, 

 which clearly show they are the same as Skuse's species. 



Theobald states that the mid-ungues of the male are unequal 

 and simple; this is an error, as the larger is uniserrate. 



Neveu-Lemaire* places J/, atripes in llieohaldia, and records 

 it from Guyane. He states that the fore- and mid ungues of the 

 female are uniserrate; and he gives a figure of the wing-scales of 

 his specimens, which proves conclusively that he was notdealino; 

 with Skuse's species. He also states that the palpi are four- 

 jointed. 



There is no doubt that it belongs to the genus Mimeteomym, 

 as, inter alia, the apex of the abdomen is very bristly.

A re-examination of the type of this species reveals the fact 

 that it should, more correctly, be placed in the genus Mimeteo- 

 myia, on account of its bristl}^ and truncated apex of the abdo- 

 men, among other points of agreement with the genus.
