  white-tipped 
  palpi 
  in 
  the 
  female, 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  leg 
  markings 
  of 
  both 
  sexes 
  as 
  follows 
  : 
  — 
  

   Front 
  femur 
  dark 
  anteriorly 
  without 
  a 
  creamy 
  patch, 
  and 
  without 
  a 
  pale 
  area 
  at 
  

   the 
  apex 
  ; 
  mid 
  tarsi 
  with 
  two 
  very 
  narrow 
  basal 
  pale 
  rings, 
  a 
  few 
  white 
  scales 
  at 
  the 
  

   base 
  of 
  the 
  third 
  segment, 
  none 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  fourth 
  ; 
  hind 
  tarsi 
  with 
  three 
  

   white 
  rings, 
  that 
  on 
  the 
  third 
  segment 
  being 
  the 
  widest, 
  none 
  on 
  the 
  fourth 
  or 
  fifth. 
  

  

  The 
  mesonotum 
  is 
  marked 
  with 
  a 
  well-defined 
  median 
  golden 
  fine, 
  which 
  pos- 
  

   teriorly 
  divides 
  into 
  two 
  thin 
  branches 
  on 
  either 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  ante-scutellar 
  space, 
  

   and 
  two 
  sub-lateral 
  straight 
  lines 
  running 
  from 
  the 
  front, 
  back 
  to 
  the 
  lateral 
  lobes 
  

   of 
  the 
  scutellum. 
  These 
  lateral 
  lines 
  are 
  less 
  defined 
  than 
  the 
  median 
  and 
  are 
  

   interrupted 
  by 
  a 
  small 
  dark 
  space 
  at 
  the 
  suture. 
  In 
  the 
  markings 
  of 
  the 
  mesonotum 
  

   this 
  species 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  distinct 
  from 
  F. 
  saxicola, 
  Edw. 
  (Hulecoeteomyia 
  fluviatilis, 
  

   Leic), 
  which 
  is 
  described 
  as 
  having 
  seven 
  golden 
  lines, 
  though 
  it 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  closely 
  

   related 
  to 
  that 
  species 
  in 
  other 
  respects. 
  

  

  Type 
  male 
  and 
  female, 
  four 
  other 
  males 
  and 
  one 
  female, 
  Haflong, 
  Assam, 
  larvae 
  

   from 
  rock-pools 
  ; 
  one 
  female 
  from 
  Kurseong, 
  Darjiling 
  Hills, 
  larva 
  from 
  tree-hole 
  ; 
  

   all 
  August 
  and 
  September 
  1922 
  (Barraud). 
  

  

  Finlaya 
  khasiana, 
  sp. 
  n. 
  

  

  This 
  species 
  is 
  evidently 
  closely 
  related 
  to 
  Aedes 
  formosensis 
  , 
  Yam., 
  from 
  Japan 
  

   (of 
  which, 
  so 
  far 
  as 
  I 
  am 
  aware, 
  only 
  the 
  female 
  has 
  been 
  described) 
  and 
  F. 
  chrysolineata 
  

   (trilineata) 
  (Theo.). 
  The 
  female 
  differs 
  from 
  the 
  former 
  in 
  having 
  pale 
  scaling 
  on 
  the 
  

   lower 
  surface 
  of 
  the 
  proboscis 
  for 
  the 
  basal 
  three-quarters, 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  marking 
  of 
  

   the 
  hind 
  femora, 
  which, 
  except 
  for 
  a 
  narrow 
  basal 
  black 
  ring, 
  are 
  pale 
  on 
  the 
  basal 
  

   half 
  of 
  the 
  anterior 
  surface. 
  It 
  differs 
  from 
  the 
  female 
  F. 
  chrysolineata 
  in 
  having 
  the 
  

   proboscis 
  entirely 
  dark 
  on 
  the 
  upper 
  surface 
  (or 
  with 
  a 
  few 
  pale 
  scales 
  showing 
  at 
  

   the 
  sides 
  in 
  the 
  middle), 
  in 
  the 
  scaling 
  of 
  the 
  pro-epimera, 
  which 
  have 
  narrow 
  curved 
  

   yellow 
  scales 
  on 
  the 
  upper 
  part, 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  marking 
  of 
  the 
  hind 
  femora, 
  which 
  have 
  

   a 
  narrow, 
  instead 
  of 
  a 
  broad, 
  basal 
  black 
  ring. 
  The 
  mid 
  femora 
  have 
  a 
  few 
  white 
  

   scales 
  dorsally 
  at 
  the 
  knee-joint 
  (in 
  some 
  specimens 
  these 
  appear 
  to 
  be 
  wanting). 
  

   The 
  male 
  is 
  distinguished 
  from 
  that 
  sex 
  of 
  F. 
  chrysolineata 
  as 
  follows 
  : 
  — 
  Pro-epimera 
  

   with 
  narrow 
  curved 
  yellow 
  scales 
  on 
  the 
  upper 
  part, 
  proboscis 
  with 
  a 
  narrow 
  pale 
  

   ring 
  beyond 
  the 
  middle, 
  no 
  other 
  pale 
  scaling 
  beneath 
  ; 
  basal 
  black 
  ring 
  on 
  hind 
  femora 
  

   and 
  third 
  white 
  ring 
  on 
  hind 
  tarsi, 
  narrower. 
  

  

  Type 
  male 
  and 
  female, 
  and 
  five 
  other 
  specimens, 
  from 
  Shillong, 
  Khasi 
  Hills, 
  

   Assam, 
  June 
  1922, 
  larvae 
  from 
  bamboo 
  stumps 
  ; 
  one 
  female 
  from 
  Sureil, 
  Darjiling 
  

   Hills, 
  October 
  1922, 
  caught 
  in 
  house 
  (Barraud). 
  

  

  Finlaya 
  harveyi, 
  sp. 
  n. 
  

  

  |This 
  rather 
  closely 
  resembles 
  F. 
  khasiana, 
  sp. 
  n., 
  F. 
  chrysolineata, 
  and 
  Aedes 
  formo- 
  

   sensis, 
  but 
  differs 
  from 
  all 
  in 
  having 
  the 
  fore 
  and 
  mid 
  femora 
  entirely 
  dark 
  anteriorly, 
  

   without 
  any 
  pale 
  scaling 
  or 
  lines 
  ; 
  from 
  F. 
  chrysolineata 
  and 
  F. 
  khasiana 
  

   (described 
  above), 
  in 
  having 
  the 
  proboscis 
  pale 
  beneath 
  only 
  on 
  the 
  middle 
  half 
  ; 
  

   from 
  the 
  former 
  in 
  having 
  the 
  proboscis 
  entirely 
  dark 
  on 
  the 
  upper 
  surface, 
  yellow 
  

   narrow 
  scales 
  on 
  the 
  upper 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  pro-epimera, 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  white 
  area 
  on 
  the 
  

   anterior 
  surface 
  of 
  the 
  hind 
  femora 
  being 
  nearer 
  to 
  the 
  base. 
  In 
  the 
  last 
  mentioned 
  

   character 
  F. 
  harveyi 
  also 
  differs 
  from 
  the 
  description 
  of 
  Aedes 
  formosensis. 
  The 
  male 
  

   differs 
  from 
  F. 
  chrysolineata 
  and 
  F. 
  khasiana 
  in 
  the 
  characters 
  of 
  the 
  front 
  and 
  mid 
  

   femora 
  mentioned 
  above, 
  and 
  from 
  F. 
  chrysolineata 
  in 
  having 
  a 
  narrow 
  pale 
  ring 
  

   on 
  the 
  proboscis, 
  without 
  any 
  other 
  pale 
  scaling 
  beneath. 
  

  

  Type 
  male 
  and 
  female, 
  and 
  a 
  further 
  long 
  series 
  from 
  Kurseong, 
  and 
  other 
  places 
  

   in 
  the 
  Darjiling 
  Hills, 
  September 
  and 
  October 
  1922 
  ; 
  larvae 
  chiefly 
  from 
  tree-holes 
  

   (Barraud).
