H. F. CARTEK A NEW MOSQUITO FROM UGANDA. 



Taeniorliynchus, but smaller ; fork cells of moderate size, the first posterior 

 cell longer but not narrower than the second submargiual, its stem half the 

 length of the cell ; stem of second sub- 

 marginal two-thirds the length of the cell ; 

 the anterior cross vein slopes towards the apex 

 of the wing ; the mid cross vein situated about 

 twice its own length from the posterior cross 

 vein. 



Lenyth 4 mm. 



Uganda: Entebbe, 5. vi. 1910. {Dr. C.A. 

 Wiggins). Type Q in the British Museum. 



Described from a single female, the head of 

 which is unfortunately denuded round the eyes ; 

 it is therefore somewhat difficult to determine 

 its true generic position, but owing to the 

 characters of the wing scales and its general 

 appearance, it agrees best with the genus 

 Culiciomyia. The species itself is easily recognised by the marked abdominal 

 ornamentation and the dark unhanded lears.
