Hah. — Hilltop, Narromine, N.S.W.(Drs.Cleland and Ferguson). 



This species is placed in the genus Culicada on account of the 

 wings having short fork-cells; the vein-scales being clothed with 

 larger and denser scales than in Culex; and the palpi being com- 

 posed of four segments, the apical one small and nipple-shaped.
