Genus Cyathomyia, Theo. 



Cyathomyia fusca, Theo. (fig. 12). 



The paddles are rather small, with a slight external thickening, a midrib, but no 

 fringe ; they carry paired terminal setae, which are small and very delicate. On the 

 7th and 8th segments there are conspicuous lateral tufts ; those on the 8th segment 

 are long and are composed of 7 subplumose hairs, those on the 7th of 4 or 5 hairs, 

 subplumose towards their extremities and branched at their tips. No such tufts

are present on the other segments, which carry at their posterior angles only a few 

 minute setae. On the posterior margins of the 4th, 5th and 6th segments there is a 

 specially large seta a little less than half-way between the angle and the mid-line ; 

 this seta is single on the 6th segment and double or triple on the 4th and 5th. The 

 trumpets are short, highly chitinised and with a moderately wide aperture. 



Genus Eumelanomyia, Theo. 



Eumelanomyia inconspicuosa, Theo. (fig. 13). 



The pupa of this mosquito possesses pear-shaped paddles with a distinct external 

 buttress ; the midrib is well formed and has a peculiar expansion at its end ; no 

 terminal seta was visible in the single specimen examined. At the posterior angle of 

 the 8th abdominal segment there is a fan-shaped tuft of 8 subplumose hairs ; near

the posterior angle of the 7th segment there is a fan-shaped tuft of 7 less well developed 

 subplumose hairs, but actually nearer the posterior angle there is a slender triple 

 hair ; near the posterior angle of the 6th segment there is a slender triple hair. 

 The trumpets are rather long and narrow, slightly expanded at the ends and with 

 small apertures. The whole pupa is dark and strongly chitinised.
