LoPHOCERATOMYiA CYLiNDRiCA Theobald. 



Mon. Culicid., iii., p. 202 (1903) [Cidex\ PI. ix.; o}?. cit., v., 

 p.361 (1910); Edwards, Bull. Ent. Res., vii., p.228 (1917). 



Hab.~Q.: Eidsvold (Dr. T. L.- Bancroft). 



I quite agree with Edwards in placing this species in Lopho- 

 ceratoniyia. It is typical in every respect. The figure of the 

 head of the male on Plate ix., though small, shows the plates on 

 the antennae. 



Mansonoides uniformis (Theobald). 



Theobald., Mon. Culicid., v., p.i-lS (1910); Edwards, Bull. Ent. 

 Res., ii., p.253 (1911). 



Hab.~N. Territory: Darwin (G. F. Hill).— Q.: Eidsvold (Dr. 

 Bancroft), Cairns, Townsville. — N.S.W : Newcastle (Dr. Dick). 



This is a very abundant and widely distributed species, being 

 found from Africa to the Philippine Islands, New Guinea across 

 to Darwin, and extending as far as Newcastle, N.S.W.

MoLPEMYiA PRiESTLKii (Tavlor). (Plate Ixxxii., fig. 10). 

 Calomyia priestleii Taylor. 



Trans. Ent. Soc. London, 1913, Part iv., p.684 (1914). 



Calomyia cannot be retained as distinct from Jlolpemyia, there 

 being no structural differences. The writer was in error in 

 describing the scales on the centre of the liead and bordering 

 the eyes as spindle-shaped, as they are, in reality, only large 

 narroiD-curved scales. 



The species seems to be somewhat variable, as a specimen, 

 taken at a later date than the type, shows complete broad band- 

 ing on the abdomen, whereas, in the type, the abdomen has large, 

 basal spots on the segments. 



Skusea pseudomediofasciata Theobald. 

 Mon. Culicid., v., p.489 (1910).

 Two specimens, both males, before me, agree perfectly with
