Genus LIMATUS Theobald 



Limatus paraensis Theobald. 



The type of Theobald's Dendromyia paraensis is identical 

 with Litnatus cacophrades Dyar and Knab. The synonymy is 

 as follows : 



Dendromyia paraeneis Theobald, Mon. Culic, iii, .316, 1903. 

 Limatus cacophrades Dyar and Knab, Smith. Misc. Colls., Quart. 



Iss., Hi, 266, 1909. 

 Dendromyia paraensis Theobald, Mon. Culic, v, 592, 1910. 

 Limatus cacophrades Howard, Dyar and Knab; Mosq. N. & Cent. 



Amer. & W. Ind., iii, 45, 1915. 

 Dendromyia paraensis Dyar, Ins. Ins. Mens., vii, 135, 1919. 



In Mon. Culic, iii, 361, 1903, Theobald describes the pro- 

 thoracic lobes as bright ochraceous. In his table in Vol. v, 

 he puts this species in a group with "prothoracic lobes not 

 golden, mauve or white." They are yellow,- however. There 

 is a specimen of Limatus paraensis from the Upper Amazon. 

 We have many specimens from Surinam and the species seems 

 to be widely spread in tropical America.
