276 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



of flat white scales may be seen ; bristles on the mesothorax chiefly 

 at the wing-roots and projecting over the head ; scutellum with a 

 very marked median lobe, with scales similar to those covering the 

 greater part of the head, border bristles missing ; metanotum nude, 

 dark brown. 



Abdomen with blackish scales, unhanded. 



Legs uniformly dark-coloured, with numerous small bristles ; 

 fore ungues equal and uniserrate, mid and hind pairs equal and 

 simple. 



Wings with typical StegoDiyia venation, the veins clothed with 

 dense brown scales ; first submarginal cell longer than the second 

 posterior, their bases almost level, the stem of the first submarginal 

 rather more than half the length of the cell, that of the second 

 posterior as long as the cell ; the posterior cross-vein slightly more 

 than its owai length distant from the mid. 



Halteres with light stems and dark knobs. 



Length 3-3'5 mm. 



Habitat.— One female, Saigon; four females, Ha-tien (Dr. 

 B roquet). 



Observations. — This description was drawn up from five 

 females, all of which were in rather poor condition. It is a 

 somewhat obscure species, and at first sight appears to belong 

 to the genus VerralUna or Skusea rather than Stegomyia. 



Note. — In two specimens the posterior cross-vein was practi- 

 cally twice its own length distant from the mid. 



Stegomyia (sp. ?). 



Localities. — One male, Giadink ; one female, Ha-tien. 



These specimens were both rather badly rubbed, but were 

 most probably either S. scutellaris, Wlk., or *S'. fasciata, Fab. 

 Dr. Broquet notes that one of them is " the common Stegomyia 

 of Saigon."

Locality. — One female, Saigon. 



According to Dr. Broquet this species is apparently rare in 

 Cochin China.
