F. W. EDWARDS — THE AFRICAN 



Gulicada quasimodesta, Theo., Ann. Mus. Nat. Hung. Ill, p. 88 (190o), and 

 Culex bicolor, Mg., Sjst. Beschr. 1, p. 9 (1818), both seem to belong to Culea: 

 (s. str.) and apparently to the C. pipiens group. I have not seen specimens. 



Culex didiert, C. pygmaeus and C. zeltneri, Neveu-Lemaire, Arch. Parasit. 

 190G. 1 have not seen specimens. 



C. rnundidus, Griinb., Zool. Anz. 29 p. 388 (1905). Said to be closely related 

 to Culiciomyia ncbulosa, but larger and paler. The description agrees fairly 

 well with the latter species, except that the venter is described as having the 

 segments with pale apical bands. 



C. par, Newst. Ann. Trop. Med. I, p. 25 (1907). From the description this 

 appears to be closely allied to C. consimilis, and is perhaps a rubbed specimen of 

 that species. 



C. laurenti, Newst., I.e. p. 24. The abdomen is described as uniformly pale 

 brown. The size is not stated, nor the structure of the ungues. 



Taeniorhynchus afric6.nus, Neveu-Lemaire, Arch. Para«it. 10, p. 271 (1906). 

 This cannot be a true Taeniorhynchus, as the female has toothed claws. 



Boycia mimomyiaformis, Newst., I.e. p. 34. Should probably be included 

 in the genus Ludloicia ; seems to be distinct from L. pinceinia, which it most 

 closely resembles, since the last three joints of the hind tarsi are described as 

 hronzy-oclireous, the legs otherwise being unhanded. 



Neomelanoconion palpale, Newst., I.e. p. 31. This species clearly does not 

 belong to the genus Neomelanoconion, which is a synonym of Culiciomyia. The 

 palpi of the male are figured as two-jointed ; if this is really the case, the species 

 cannot be a Melanoconion. The figures of the male palpus and wing and the 

 description of the Antennae suggest a Ludlouna.
