its length from, the anterior cross-vein; second incrassation well 

 marked, 



^. Similar to ^ ; antenna^ black, basal lobes black, with 

 creamy-yellow scales, basal half of second joint pale, verticillate 

 hairs black, pubescence pale; palpi four-jointed, black-scaled, 

 with intermixed, scattered, pale scales; proboscis black; fore 

 femora pale-scaled, mid and hind pale, with an apical black ring, 

 tibiae and first tarsals mottled with pale scales; fore- and mid- 

 ungues equal, uniserrate; penultimate abdominal segment creamy- 

 scaled except for a small oblique apical line of dark scales, apical 

 creamy-scaled. Wings similar to those of the male; but fork- 

 cells relatively longer, stem of first fork-cell two-thirds the length 

 of its cell, that of second about three-fifths of the cell. 



Length: (J, 7-5; 9, 6 mm. 



Hab. — Vic.-: Kyabram, Echuca, Bamawm, Swan Hill, and 

 Mildura (F. H. Taylor). 



This appears to be a well-defined species related to C. tasrna- 

 niensis Strickland, differing, i')Uer alia, in the wing-venation, 

 and the mottled femora, tibitie, and first tarsals. C. tvHsoid was 

 present in enormous numbers in the Goulburn Valley district, 

 Kyabram and Bamawm being inundated with them. There is a 

 small area of cypress-pine {Callitris sp.) at Bamawm, and it was 

 impossible for man or beast to remain in it for even a few 

 minutes, owing to the abundance of this mosquito. 



I have much pleasure in dedicating this species to Mr. Wilson, 

 of Bamawm, who rendered me much help and kindly service 

 while I was in that district.
