tuft two -haired. Pectenof the eighth segment of very long fringed 

 teeth. The identification seems plausible and we have therefore 

 accepted it. 



Wyeomyia aporonoma, new species. Fig. 75. 



The air tube is pale, straight, tapered only near tip, with scattered 

 single hairs. Lateral comb of the eighth segment of scales in a broad 

 band, beginning above in single teeth, then a double row below, the 

 teeth smaller. Anal segment with the subventral tuft small and stel- 

 late. Anal plate and tube with a black basal border. Body hairs 

 fine, stellate. 



The junior author got the larvae at Sonsonate and San Salvador, 

 Salvador; Santa Lucrecia, Mexico; Port Limon, Costa Rica. They 

 were in cocoanut shells, a hollow in a stump of a banana tree and cacao 

 shells. The species was named "Dendromyia? qiiasiluteoventralis 

 Theob.' ' but we have been averse to adopting a name so doubtful. 



Wyeomyia telestica, new species. Fig. 76. 



The larva is allied to W. ochrura D. & K., described above. It was 

 sent to us by Mr. Urich from Trinidad, bred from Bromelia water. 

 The adults were named "Dendromyia quasihdcoventralis Theob." 

 by Mr. Coquillett. 



Wyeomyia autocratica, new species. Fig. 77. 



This species is allied to W . longirostris Theob., but differs markedly 

 in the structure of the tube and comb. The tube bears a false 

 pecten as in W. ulocoma Theob. but otherwise these larvae are not 

 much alike. The specimen was received from Mr. Urich in Trinidad, 

 bred from Bromelia water with the preceding. Mr. Coquillett 

 did not find the adult different from the foregoing species. 



Wyeomyia hemisagnosta, new species. Fig. 78. 



Allied to II*. aporonoma D. & K., but entirely without the broad 

 black margin of the anal plate ; the subdorsal abdominal hairs are 

 long in twos and threes, while they are short, stellate tufts in aporo- 

 noma. They were collected by the junior author at Sonsonate, Sal- 

 vador, in cacao shells, associated with A'edes cyaneus and W . dur- 

 hami and at Port Limon, Costa Rica.
