Malay Peninsula, and does not seem to occur in South India. Much 

 darker and larger than the former. 



Genus Tceniorhynchus. (Arribalzaga.) 



' Dipt. Argentina,' p. 47 (1899), Arribalzaga; ' Mono. Culicid.,' ii, 

 p. 190 (1901), Theobald. 



A single species of this genus occurs in India. The chief character 

 of the genus as modified by me is the presence of dense thick 

 elongated wing scales either ending obliquely, or bluntly pointed.

 white over the roots of the wings. Abdomen black, with apical 

 creamy bands. Legs ochraceous, Avith black and white scales, giving

 apically and basally on the mid and hind legs.

Habitat. Madras and X.W. India. 



Observations. This banded proboscis species can at once be told from 

 other Indian Culicid se by the dense wing scales. 



Genus Aedeomyia. (Theobald.) 

 1 Mono. Culicid.,' ii, p. 218 (1901), Theobald. 



Palpi short in both sexes. Separated from Acdcs on account of the 

 broad asymmetrical wing scales like Panoplites. A single species only 

 occurs in this genus.
