NEW CULICID^ FBOM THE FEDERATED MALAY STATES. 163 



broady transverse. Labrum hidden. The upper tooth of mandibles 

 much longer than the lower. Palpi longer than usual. Areolet 

 4-angled, the nervures uniting above ; there is a short stump of a 

 nervure on the disco-cubital ; the transverse basal nervure is inter- 

 stitial. Petiole long, the post-petiole not much widened. Gastrocoeli 

 shallow, widely separated. Legs moderately long ; the tarsi much 

 longer than the tibiae and sparsely spined. Antennae long, distinctly 

 dilated towards the apex. Eyes large, parallel, reaching below the 

 middle of the face, the malar space being less than the length of the 

 scape of the antennse. 



Comes near to Charitojoppa and Xenojoppa,

NEW CULICID^ FROM THE FEDERATED MALAY 



STATES. 



By Fred. V. Theobald, M.A. 



(Continued from p. 113.) 



Genus Hulecoeteomyia, n. gen. 



Head mostly covered with flat scales, but there is a pronounced 

 median area of narrow-curved scales, which also exist along the nape 

 and around the eyes. Palpi short in the female ; in the male the 

 palpi are long, but shorter than the proboscis, thin and devoid of hair- 

 tufts ; the apical joint about half the length of the penultimate. 

 Scutellum with a rosette of flat and somewhat spindle-shaped scales 

 to mid-lobe, scattered ones of similar form on lateral lobes ; pro- 

 thoracic lobes with small flat scales ; fork-cells small. 



This genus can at once be told by the cephalic characters, 

 and by the scutellar scales, which, as pointed out by Dr. 

 Leicester, differ entirely from those in Stegomyia. I have not 

 yet detected any scales in the Culicina like those of the scutellum 

 in this genus ; they are somewhat difficult to make out in form, 

 but apparently are all rounded apically, not pointed as in true 

 spindle-shaped scales. 



A single species has so far only been taken. They might 

 easily be mistaken for Stegomyias unless microscopically 

 examined. 



Hulecoeteomyia trilineata, Leicester, n. sp. 



" Thorax rich brown, with three narrow golden lines, the median 

 one entire, the lateral broken before the roots of the wings. Abdomen 

 black, with pearly white lateral basal spots in the female, with narrow 

 white bands in the male. Legs black, basally pale-banded, most 

 prominently on the hind legs. Fork-cells short. Male palpi about 

 four-fifths the length of the proboscis. 



" ? . Head black, clothed with flat black scales and numerous 

 upright black forked scales ; there is a line of narrow-curved scales,
