228 F. W. EDWARDS. 



Bred specimens agreeing with those above referred to have been received from 

 Dr. Stanton from Ginting Simpah, Fed. Malay States, 1915. The larval skin is very 

 similar to that of L. mammilijer (received from the same place in 1916), but the gills 

 are twice as long as the anal segment instead of only a little longer, and there are some 

 other differences. 



Lophoceratomyia cylindrica, Theo. 



Cidex cyUndncus, Theo., Mon. Cul. iii, p. 202 (1903). 



The antennal structure of this species is exactly the same as in L. minuiisima 

 (Theo.), which it also resembles in its banded abdomen. 



Lophoceratomyia chaetoventralis, Theo. 



Neomekmoconion chaetoventralis, Theo,, Mon. Cul. v, p. 461 (1910). 



Though known only from the type female, this also is evidently a species of 

 Lophoceratoinyia. It appears to be very much like L. cylindrica, but has white scales 

 round the front margin of the mesonotum, which the latter has nob. 



Subgenus Micraedes, Coq. 

 It is doubtful whether all the species of Cidex with the palpi equally short in both 

 sexes are genetically related, but it will perhaps be convenient to class them all 

 together in one subgenus. The name of this subgenus should perhaps be Aedinus 

 rather than Micraedes, since Howard, Dyar and Knab include Lutz's genus in the 

 synonymy of Cidex. 



Micraedes malayi, Leic. 



Aedes malayi, Leic, Cul. of Malaya, p. 184 (1908). 



Aioretomyia aedes, Leic, Cul. of Malaya, p. 189 (1908). 



I overlooked the above synonymy in my paper on Synonymy of Oriental Culicidae. 

 The types agree. 



Genus Theobaldia, N.-L. 



Theobaldia longiareolata, Mcq. 



Cidex longiariolatiis, Mcq., Dipt. Exot. i, p. 34 (1838). 



Culex spathipal])is, Rond., Bull. Soc Ent. It. iv, p. 31 (1872). 



Cukx serratipes, Becker, Berlin Mitt. Zool. Mus. iv, p. 78 (1908). 



As Theobald suggests, it is fairly certain that Macquart's species is the same as 

 Rondani's ; it is the only European gnat to which Macquart's description of the 

 venation will apply, and therefore this old name ought to be used. Becker's C. 

 serratipes is also quite evidently the same from the description. 



It may be mentioned here that Becker's C. angnste-alatus and C. albopalposus 

 are probably both Stegomyia fasciata ; the former apparently being described from a 

 specimen with the last two hind tarsal joints broken off, and the latter from one with 

 a rubbed thorax. 



Genus Aedomyia, Theo. 



Aedomyia africana, N.-L. (fig. 10 c). 



Neveu-Lemaire described this species from a single male which he said had only a 

 median pale ring on the proboscis and no white scales on the palpi. I have not seen
