SPECIES OF CULEX AND ALLIED GENEUA. 26.5 



20. C. piliferus, Theo., Mon. Cul. IV, p. 274 (1907). 



Maillotia pilifefci, Theo. I.e. 



This species closely resembles a small Culex, so is included here, as Maillotia 

 only differs from Citlex in the size of the scales on the head and thorax. 

 (^ unknown. 



Algeria. 



21. C. insignis, Carter, Bull. Ent. Res. II, p. 37 (1911). 



Culiciomyia insignis, Carter, I.e. 



Nyasaland ; Uganda ; Congo Free State (Colquilhatville) ; S. JNigeria ; Sierra 

 Leone. 



22. C. rima, Theo., Q, Mon. Cul. II, p. 327 (1901). 



(Nee Neomelanoconion rima, Theo., (^ , Mon. Cul. IV, p. 514, 1907). 

 Melanoconion rimus, Theo., Mon. Cul. Ill, p. 240 (1903). 

 Culex rima was founded on female examples, the specimens which Theobald 

 took to be the males are only Culieiomyia nehulosa ; the (^ of C. rima has not 

 got the peculiar scales on the palpi or the flat scales round the eyes. Since the 

 genus Neomelanoconion was founded on the male specimens in question it is a 

 synonym of Culiciomyia. 



Ashanti ; S. Nigeria ; Congo Free State ; Uganda. 



23. C. sergenti, Theo., Mon. Cul. Ill, p. 218 (1903). 

 Algeria. 



24. C- rubinotus, Theo., Second Rep. Welle. Lab., p. 76 (1906). 



A single specimen, with very few scales left on the thorax or abdomen. 

 Sudan. 



African Species not included in the preceding Tables. 



C. aegypti, Linn., Hasselquists' Reise nach Palestina, p. 470 (1762). The 

 description is as follows : — •" Culex aegypti articulationibus candidis. Magnitude 

 Culicis vulgaris Linn. Syst. N. 1. Color ex fusco canus. Crura cana cum 

 annulis candidis, parvis, circa articulationes et in articulis. Puncta Candida ad 

 marginem dorsi in corpore sub alis utrinque, plura, longitudinaliter sita. Annulus 

 candidus ad basin thoracis, inter ilium et corpus. Linea Candida perpendicularis 

 juxta oculos, utrinque una parva. Locus, Aegyptus, Culice communi rarior." 



C: lonyefurcatus, Becker, Berl. Mitt. Zool. II, 3, p. 68 (1903). In his 

 description Becker says " One sees no trace of scaling on the whole body." The 

 name had therefore better be dropped altogether. 



C. maculiventris, Mcq., Dipt. Exot. Sup. I, p. 7 (1846). This evidently 

 belongs to the dorsalis group, but the description is not full enough for purposes 

 of tabulation. 



C. rufinus. Bigot (Theo., Mon. Cul. II, p. 169) ; C. pusillus, Mcq. (Theo., 

 Mon. Cul. II, pp. 122, 166) ; C. pallipes, Mcq., nee Mg. ( = C. melanorhinus, 

 Giles; Theo., Mon. Cul. II, p. 1.71,). The descriptions of these species are 

 inadequate.
