Wyeomyia leucopisthepus Dyar & Knab. 



IJ'ycomyia leucopisthepus Dyar & Knab, Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc, 



XV, 213, 1907. 

 Wyeomyia chresta Dyar & Knab, Smiths. Misc. Colls., Quart, 



iss.. Hi, 263, 1909. 

 Wyeomyia chresta, siynmsi and leucopisthepus Howard, Dyar & 



Knab, 1. c, ii, pi. 4, fig. 25, p. 5, figs. 28, 29, 1912. 

 Wyeomyia simmsi Howard, Dyar & Knab (in part, not Dyar & 



Knab), Mosq. N. & Cent. Am. & W. I., iii, 146, 1915. 



The female has the mid tarsi white on the outside at tip ; 

 hind tarsal joints broadly white at the bases of the fourth and 

 fifth, specks on the second and third. The male has much 

 less of white than the female, which is the reverse of the usual 

 condition. The male simmsi of the monograph is this species, 

 but the female type has, apparently, dark mid tarsi and must 

 be held apart. The legs are broken in the single type and 

 stuck on a card-point, so there may be some question as to the 

 fact. In the monograph tables, we place leucopisthepus as 

 having dark mid tarsi in the female, but we had no female at 

 the time. The larvae occur in Bromeliaccce in the Canal Zone, 

 Panama. 



Genus CLEOBONNEA, new genus 



Type species : Wyeomyia occulta Bonne- Wepster & Bonne. 



A single species occurs in the genus, which is characterized 

 by the absence of a stem to the clasp, the three branches 

 arising almost directly from the tip of the side piece. 



Cleobonnea occulta Bonne-Wepster & Bonne (PI. V, fig. 9). 



Wyeouiyia occulta Bonne-Wepster & Bonne, Ins. Ins. Mens., vii, 

 105, 1919. 



The larvae were found in a jelly-like mass at the bases of 

 the leaves of a Hcliconia in Surinam by Mrs. J. Bonne- 

 Wepster and Dr. C. Bonne. 



This may be the same as Dendromyia ulocomu Theobald 

 (Mon. Culic, iii, 313, 1903), described from British Guiana. 

 Theobald's description is insufficient and, in any case, his type 

 appears to be in such poor condition that a perfect description 

 could not be prepared from it. See Doctor Howard's notes
