In the monograph we united elevator and educator; but the 

 genitalia are obviously different. On the other hand, we cre- 

 ated the new species apateticus, based on a mixture of elevator 

 and educator. The types of apateticus are three of Jennings' 

 No. 498, the mounted male being elevator, plus two of Jennings' 

 No. 454 and one of Jennings' No. 522, the two mounted males 

 being educator. We placed these in the monograph with hesi- 

 tator, a Mochlostyrax, but this also was placed wrongly. Both 

 species should have the female proboscis swollen at the tip, 

 but we have put them in the "straight proboscis" section. 



59. Culex (Choeroporpa) iolambdis, new species. 



Male genitalia. — Comb of harpe with about eight teeth; sec- 

 ond plate of unci with a horn on either side, the tip quadrately 

 terminated and denticulate ; outer division of lobe of side piece 

 obsoletely subdivided, the proximal portion bearing a hooked 

 filament ; at the base is inserted a broad filament but not leaf- 

 shaped, and on a scarcely distinguishable prominence below 

 are three crooked filaments. Clasp filament not strongly 

 swollen, the tip attenuated, truncate, with snout-like termina- 

 tion ; a groove at end and straight oblique groove across ; setae 

 very obscure ; cresting pile very small, reaching to near end of 

 snout. 



Only one slide is before me ; near educator, of which I hope 

 it is not a distorted specimen. 



The adult has the tarsi wholly black ; palpi exceeding the 

 proboscis, black, the last two joints sparsely and evenly haired. 

 Abdomen entirely black dorsally with bronzy luster ; the venter 

 appears wholly black.
