A NEW AEDINE. 
By €. SS: Luprow,

A long while ago, before it was known that Skusea multiplex 
Theob. had long palpi in the male, and therefore was not a Skusea, 
I received and named a lot of mosquitoes, which seemed to be of 
this species. Nothing had called my attention to the change of 
position of multiplex, so the specimens were not re-examined, but 
lately I sent specimens to Mr. Edwards, who has called my atten- 
tion to this point and, as the species was undescribed, kindly 
returned the specimens for description. In general appearance 
the female probably more nearly resembles multiplex than any 
other species but it is described below as 
Aédes panayensis sp. noy. 
Head dark brown, covered with flat brown scales, which appear grey in some 
lights, and small curved scales around the eyes; antennze brown, white-banded, 
verticels brown, pubescence white; palpi brown and very short in both male and 
female; proboscis brown; clypeus brown; eyes dark brown. 
Prothoracic lobes brown; mesothorax brown, sometimes very dark, and covered 
with slender golden brown curved scales; scutellum as mesothorax, with six long 
marginal brown bristles on the mid, and three marginal bristles on the lateral lobes; 
pleura dark, with bunches of white scales; metanotum dark brown. 
Abdomen with brown scales and large white basal lateral spots on all but the 
eighth segment. 
Legs: coxee and trochanters light; femora dorsally brown, and ventrally white 
nearly to the apex, and a light knee spot; tibize dorsally brown, darker than the
