IN ORIENTAL CULICIDAE. 237 



Cyathomyia, Meij. 

 Ann. Jard. Bot. Buitenzorg, ser. 2, supp. iii, p. 921 (June 1910). 



46. Cyathomyia brevipalpis (Giles). 



Stegomyia brevipalpis, Giles, Gnats, Ed. ii, p. 384 (~i902). 

 Melanoconion uniformis, Leie., Cul. of Malaya, p. 136 (1908). 

 An examination of the types (I have mounted the male genitalia of both) shows 

 that these species are synonymous. To judge from the description, de Meijere's 

 C. jenseni is a distinct species. Leicester attributes the first publication of M. 

 uniformis to Theobald, but I have been unable to trace any earlier reference to it 

 in literature. 



MiCRAEDES, Coq. 



Proc. Ent, Soc. Wash, vii, p. 185 (1905). 

 Acalleomyia, Leic, Cul. of Malaya, p. 194 (1908). 



47. Micraedes obscurus (Leic). 



Acalleomyia obscurus, Leic, Cul. of Malaya, p. 194 (1908). 



An examination of the male genitalia shows that this species belongs to the 

 Culex group, and the short male palpi place it in Micraedes. 



Leicester's Aedes malayi also belongs to this genus and lies extremely close to 

 M. nigrescens (Theo.) ; there are however some slight differences in coloration 

 and in the male genitalia. 



(d) Anomalous and Primitive genera. 



(Under this heading are included all those genera of Culicini which will not 

 fit into any of the three foregoing groups.* With the exception of Uranotaenia, 

 they are all small genera and have similar male genitalia of a simple type, though 

 this fact alone may not indicate any close relationship between them.) 



Theobaldia, N.-L. 

 C. E. Soc. Biol., 1902, p. 1331. 



48. Theobaldia glaphyroptera (Schiner). 



Culex glaphyroptcrus, Schiner, Fauna Austriaca, Dipt., ii, p. 628 (1864). 

 Pseudotheobaldia niveitaeniata, Theo., Mon. Cul. iv, p. 272 (1907). 

 I think there can be very little doubt that these two are the same species. A 

 south European species is quite likely to occur in northern India. 



Ficalbia, Theo. 



Mon. Cul. iii., p. 296 (1903). 



Etorleptiomyia, Theo., First Kept. Welle Lab., p. 71 (1904). 

 Ingramia, Edw., Bull. Ent. Res. iii, p. 43 (19 1 2). 

 I have compared the male genitalia of Ficalbia minima, Theo., with those of 

 Etorleptiomyia completiva, Leic, and Ingramia malfctjti (Newst.) and find that 



* Besides the ones specially mentioned, the genera Mimomyia, Acdomyia and Leptosomatomyia 

 occur in this section.
