Note 
.\mongst the mosquitoes taken by Mr. H. King arc six new species and a variety six ne« 
wliich may possibly be a distinct form. species 
The new species include a handsome Mncidita which comes near both the Mtiv/dtis 
iiLiwidus, Karsch, and the Mucidns ufrivaniin, Theobald, and a Tandorhijnchiin which is quite 
distinct and which is evidently a very brilliant species when alive, with metallic-violet 
and purple body. 
•V new genus, Mimetecidex, has had to be formed for one species (d/. kiiuiii), as I could 
not satisfactorily place it in any described group ; the male being very marked on account 
of the unequal hind ungues, a character not known in any other male in this family. The 
Miniumijiu (M. circuiiitestacen) is quite distinct from the other two knowm Sudanese species; 
from the series of it collected by Mr. King, the male genitalia of this genus have been figured. 
Two Uranotienia have been taken, but they are so closely related that I have placed one 
only as a sub-species of the other, the difference mainly being one of colour; the type has a 
pale-scaled head, the sub-species a blue head, like K. cceruleocephala. 
A salt-water culex is also new {0. salus) and Stegomyia ai-genteopunctdta, Theobald, and .\ sait-w 
Scutomyla siigeiis, Wiedemann, are recorded for the first time in this region. There are now 
forty-three species of GuUcidcc known in the Sudan.
