palpi nearly as long as the proboscis, bluntly acuminate, black, the two apical segments 

 nearly equal, each with a basal snow-white spot, both with a few long black chaetae, and 

 some on the apes of the antepenultimate segment, which has a broad snow-white band 

 near middle, and a narrow one basally. 



Thorax black, clothed with narrow-curved bronzy-black scales, in front a large snow- 

 white median spot of flat scales, on each side behind a large snow-white patch of broad 

 curved scales, and a small one just at the roots of the wings ; surrounding the bare space in 

 front of the scutellum are flat silvery-white scales, with some broad curved ones in front 

 showing mauve reflections ; chaetae thick, black ; scutellum black with flat snow-white 

 scales ; metanotum black ; pleurae black, with four patches of flat silvery-white scales. 



Abdomen black, with basal silvery-white bands, the last two segments with lateral 

 white patches. 



Legs black, ornamented as follows : — Fore femora with a few white scales, mid witli 

 a snow-white apical spot, and another on the shaft with one or two white scales more 

 basally, hind femora white ventrally on the basal two-thirds, then a silvery spot and 

 another at the apex ; tihiie all black ; metatarsi with a basal white band, broadest and 

 whitest on the hind pair, fore and mid first tarsals with narrow white band, and in the 

 hind legs the second tarsal also ; fore and mid ungues unequal, the larger simple, the 

 smaller uniserrate ; hind equal and simple. 



Wings with broad scales on the sub-costal and first long vein, twniorhynchus-Wke ones 

 on the second, thinner lateral ones on the other veins ; fork-cells short, the first longer 

 and narrower than the second, their bases about level, stem of the first more than half 

 the length of the cell ; stem of the second nearly as long as the cell ; posterior cross-vein 

 longer than the mid, about twice its own length distant from it. Genitalia with rather 

 small, narrow claspers, with dark blunt apical spine. 



Length. — d'S to 5 mm. 



Habitat. — Bor, Sudan (H. H. King).

Head clothed with flat scales and upright forked scales, with traces of a few narrow- 

 curved ones behind. Palpi of $ short. 



Thorax v.-ith narrow-curved scales to the mesonotum and with flat scales in the anterior 

 median line and a large lateral patch on each side of similar flat scales and others at 

 the sides ; scutellum with flat scales. Venter of abdomen slightly tufted. Wings very 

 densely scaled with long txniorhynchuf-Yike lateral scales, the scales on the first, second and 

 third veins all overlapping. 



This genus is very near Quasistegomyia, Theobald, but can be told at once by the flat 

 white lateral scales.
