38. Culiciomyia viridiventer (Giles). 



Culex viridiventer, Giles, J. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc, xiii, p. 609 (May 



1901). 

 Culex angulatus, Theo., Mon. Cul. ii, p. 324 (Nov. 1901). 

 Culex bngifurcatus, Theo. {nee Becker), Rec. Ind. Mus. iv., p. 19 (1910). 

 Culex pseudolongifurcatus, Theo., Mon. Cul. v, p. 366 (1910). 

 All the types are in a good condition in the British Museum, and are unmis- 

 takeably all of the same species. The row of scales on the male palpi is quite 

 well marked in this and in the two following species. 



39. Culiciomyia pallidothorax (Theo.). 



Culex pallidothorax, Theo., J. Econ. Biol, i, p. 32 (1905). 



Culex albopleura, Theo., Mon. Cul. iv, p. 456 (1907). 



Culiciomyia annuloabdominalis, Theo., Mon. Cul. v, p. 236 (1910). 

 The types of C. pallidothorax and C. albopleura are in the British Museum in 

 sufficiently good condition for comparison. C. annuloabdominalis is unrepre- 

 sented in the British Museum, but I have no doubt at all as to its identity. 

 Theobald states in each case that the species may be distinguished from C, 

 fatigans or C. pipiens by the more uniformly fawn-coloured thorax, but charac- 

 teristically omits to compare C. annuloabdominalis or C. albopleura either with 

 C. pallidothorax or with one another. 



40. Culiciomyia fusca (Theo.). 



Trichorhynchus fuscus, Theo., J. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc. xvi, p. 240 (1905). 

 Culiciomyia inornata, Theo., Mon. Cul. iv, p. 227 (1907). 

 The above synonymy has already been referred to incidentally (Bull. Ent. 

 Res. iii, p. 33, May 1912), but it is perhaps as well to restate it definitely. 



41. Culiciomyia minutissima, Theo. 



Culiciomyia minutissima, Theo., Mon. Cul. iv, p. 235 (1907). 



Culiciomyia nigerrima, Theo., Mon. Cul. v, p. 233 (1910). 



Melanoconion juxtapallidiceps, Theo., Mon. Cul. v, p. 456 (1910). 

 I have compared the types, which are in fairly good condition in the British 

 Museum. The species may not be a true Culiciomyia, as the head scaling looks 

 rather more like that of Lophocer atomy ia ; the male remains unknown. 



LOPHOCERATOMYIA, Theo. 



Ann. Mus. Nat. Hung, iii, p. 93 (1905). 



Philodendromyia, Theo., Mon. Cul. iv, p. 623 (1907). 



42. Lophoceratomyia fraudatrix, Theo. 



Lophoceratomyia fraudatrix, Theo., Ann. Mus. Nat. Hung, iii, p. 93 (1905), 

 Lophoceratomyia variata, Leic, Cul. of Malaya, p. 121 (1908). 

 Paratypes of L. fraudatrix from the Hungarian Museum have been compared 

 with a series of L. variata in the British Museum. There are some slight errors
