I. S. amesii Ludlow 1903. 



Jour. New Yk. Ent. So., xi, 139 {Stegoynyia nivea 

 amesii). 



Described from the Philippines, but I can find no definite data 

 except that Banks includes it in his Catalogue. 



Note. — Banks mentions in addition to this species a " Scu- 

 tomyia nivea Ludl. {Stegomyia nivea) " with exactly the same ref- 

 erence as this species, and adds : " There appears to be a confusion 

 of this species with Stegomyia amesii Ludl. in the Genera Insecto- 

 rum." I have not seen the New York journal, but I infer that 

 ]Miss Ludlow described two species on the same page, viz., (i) Ste- 

 gomyia nivea Ludl., which Banks places as a good species in Scuto- 

 myia ; and, (2) Stegomyia nivea amesii Ludl. (probably intended, 

 to judge by the triplet of names, to be a sub-species), which Banks 

 also ranks as a good species under the title amesii only, in Stego- 

 myia.

Types in British Museum. Theobald said (Monog. iii, 146) 

 that he had examined the types in the British Museum, and had 

 found them to be not a Stegoynyia but a typical Culex ; but (in the 

 Gen. Ins.) he replaces the species in the present genus. The 2 bites 

 during the daytime in houses.
