Mucidus, Theob., Monog. i, 268 (1901). 



No type species was appointed by Theobald, so out of the five 

 species included by that author at the erection of the genus 

 I propose a/^erwflws, Westw., as being (apart from laniger, W., 

 which Theobald at that time had not seen) the oldest des- 

 cribed one (1835). Both sexes were present before him, 

 and the " type " (Theobald does not say which sex) is in 

 the Hope collection at Oxford. A vaHd genus. 



Myxosquamus, Theob., Monog. v, 225 (1910). 



Type, M . confusus, Theob. ^ sp. nov., 9 , I.e., b}- original desig- 

 nation. =Culex^ h. 



Myzomia, Blanch., Comp. rend, liv, 795 (July 4, 1902). 



Type, Anopheles rossii, Giles, by original designation. 



N.B — Theobald suggests (Monog. iii, 12) altering the type to 

 juntsta, Giles, but this of course is inadmissible. James 

 apparently desires to erect a new genus Nyssomyzouivia ' on 

 rossii, but this is impossible, as the latter must remain the 

 type of Myzomyia. == Anopheles, Mg. 



MyzorhynchcIIa, Theob., Monog. iv, 78(1907). 



Type, M. nigra, Theob. = Anopheles, Mg. 



Myzorhynchus, Blanch., Comp. rend, liv, 795 (1902). 



Type, Anopheles sinensis, W ., by original designation. 



= Anopheles, Mg. 

 AT^..^. — Major James suggests barbirostris, Wulp, as the type 

 species which s quite impossible in the face of Blanchard's 

 definite selection of a type. 



Neocellia, Theob., Monog. iv, iii (1907). 



Type, N. indica, Theob . sp. nov , o^ 9 , I.e., the first species. 



=AnopIielcs, Mg. 

 Ncoculex, Dyar, Proc. Ent. So. Wash, vii, 47 (1905). 



Type, Culexterritans, W'dilk. ^ =Culex.J,. 



Ncomaclcaya, Theob., Monog. iv, 238 (1907). 



Type, N. indica, Theob., sp. nov , 9 ,l.c., the original s])ecies. 



=Culex, L. 

 Neomelanoconion, Theob., Monog. iv, 514 (iqo;). 



Type, Cnlex rima, Theob., Rep. Liverp. Sch. Trop. Med. 



App p xi (1901), by original designation, (iv, 514). 

 N.B — Neomelanoconioncf = Culiciomyia, Theob, according 

 to Edwards. ==Culex , L 



Ncomyzomyia, Theob., Monog. v, 29 (1910). 



Type,^ Anopheles ehgans, James in Theob , by original desig- 

 "ation. = Anopheles, Ug. 



I Rec. Ind. Mus. iv, 106. In this pap r Major James desires to make culici- 

 jacies i.i\%s, the type of Myzomyia, which is impo.ssible since rossii was definitelj' 

 selected as such by Blanchard. These attempts to alter genotypes are zoologically 

 unparduiiable. o ^r- & ^
