A NOTE ON LESTICOCAMPA, AND A NEW SPECIES 



(Dipt era, Culicidw) 



By HARRISON G. DYAR 



In the monograph^ we show that the name Lesticocampa 

 should obtain for the collection of species there treated, since 

 Joblotia Blanchard is based upon digitatns Rondani as type, 

 and was proposed to replace Trichopi'osopon Theobold, pre- 

 occupied by Trichoprosoptis Macquart. We considered the 

 possibility of Goeldia Theobald being an earlier name for 

 Lesticocampa (page 186), but arrived at no definite conclu- 

 sion. Peryassu separates Goeldia as having the male palpi 

 short, about one-third the length of the proboscis, the postno- 

 tum with scales, the proboscis short and swollen at the apex, 

 It is thus probably generically distinct from Lesticocampa. 

 Binotia Blanchard {=-Runchomyia Theobald, which, when 

 emended, is preoccupied by Rhynchomyia Robineau Desvoidy) 

 is said to possess a prominence on the front and is presumably 

 separable by this. There remains, however, Hyloconops Lutz, 

 the date of which is given as 1904-, whereas Lesticocampa dates 

 from 1906. However, on looking up Lutz's characterization 

 of Hyloconops (in Bourroul), it is seen that no species is 

 mentioned. The name H. pallidiv enter Lutz occurs on page 49 

 as a new species, without description, the name being there- 

 fore a manuscript one. No species was described in Hyloco- 

 nops till 1 907 when Theobald, in volume iv of his monograph, 

 describes pallidiventer and longipalpis, crediting the former to 

 Lutz (1901) and the latter to Lutz MS. Lutz did not describe
