Obscrratioiis, — Described from two perfect females taken by Dr. Balfour. 

 They bear a \'ery strong resemblance to Mi/:oiiii/ia fuiiesta, Giles, variety umOro.sa. 

 Theobald (\-ide Kept. Malaria Exp. to Gambia, Mem. X, Liv. School Trop. Med. 

 App. p. 4, 19U3). The main differences are as foUoAVs : the palpi and the proboscis 

 are relatively nt)t so long as in J/, funesta, and they are all black save for a 

 minute pale apical baud, whilst in funesta there are three pale bands ; the wings 

 are much more densely scaled than in funesta and the fork-cells shorter and "with 

 much longer stems than in funesta. I thus think it must be treated as a distinct 

 spacies owing to the shorter palpi and not as a melanic \-ariety.

This species has been sent bv Dr. Balfour from the Sudan, and he states it is 

 common on the Sobat, where he found it in numbL?rs, The specimens sent Avere 

 quite typical. I believe it occurs all over Central Africa down to Fashoda. The 

 wing is figured on J^late I., Figs. 1 and 2.

A single much damaged Myzomyia was taken at Bor ])\ \)v. Balf(jur, but it is 

 too imperfect to describe, I am sure it is a new species lun\'e\er. Its marked feature 

 is the pale grey ventral surface; the Avings haAe only two yelktAv costal spots and a 

 yelloAv apical spot Avhich extends on to the first long vein, another pale spot toAvards 

 the base of the first long vem, not reaching the costa and the base of the vein 

 yelloAvish ; a pale spot at the base of each fork-cell, another at the cross-A'eius and 

 another at the marginal cross-\-ein ; on the loAver bram-li of the fifth a long yelloAv 

 area and another faint one on the stem : fringe unspotted.
