12 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



Ann. Eep. Dept. Geology, Indiana, for 1902, pp. 123-471 ; one 

 coloured plate and many text-figs.). A somewhat popular account 

 of the Orthoptera of Indiana, treated in a very full and clear 

 manner, accompanied by notices of their natural enemies, a 

 bibliography, and analytical keys ; the accounts of habits and 

 geographical distribution are very interesting, especially the con- 

 sideration of the life-zones of the State as exemplified by the 

 distribution of the present order. There is a fine coloured plate 

 of the remarkable pink variety of Ambhjcori/pha ohlonqifolia.

NEW CULICIDyE FEOM THE FEDERATED MALAY 



STATES. 



By Fred. V. Theobald, M.A. 



A COLLECTION of twenty-three specimens of Culicidse recently 

 sent to me by Dr. Leicester, taken and bred by him in and near 

 Kuala Lumpur, contains ten new species and six new genera. 

 Two other species were sent, namelj^ Stegomyia nivea, Ludlow, 

 and Myzomyia albirostris, Theobald, previously known, the 

 former from the Philippine Islands, the latter from Malay. 



The descriptions of most of these species have been sent me, 

 drawn up by Dr. Leicester, from fresh specimens, with great 

 care. These descriptions are reproduced here in inverted 

 commas, showing that Dr. Leicester is the describer of the 

 species and not myself, but I have added a few notes on each 

 species. I have proposed six new genera, one named after Dr. 

 Leicester. Most are jungle-living sjDecies, and this probably 

 accounts for the novelties in the collection, as the majority of 

 collections so far made have been in and around human habita- 

 tions. Besides the six new genera, there is a new Melanoconion, 

 Theob., three new Toxorhynchites, Theob., and a new Catageiomyia, 

 Theob. I believe Dr. Leicester has notes on the larvae of these 

 species to be described elsewhere. I wish it clearly to be under- 

 stood that the new species, except Toxorhynchites leicesteri, 

 Scutomyia albolineata, and Leicesteria longipalpis, are on the 

 authority of Dr. Leicester. The types are deposited in the British 

 Museum (Nat. Hist.).
