238 F. W. EDWARDS — NEW SYNONYMY 



they are all of the same type, while in all these species the proboscis is strongly 

 swollen apically in the male and distinctly so in the female ; it therefore seems 

 justifiable to regard them all as belonging to one genus, in spite of the con- 

 siderable differences in the male palpi. This course will at least call attention 

 to their evident relationships, and no harm will be done even if the genera Etor- 

 leptiomyia and Ingramia be subsequently revived. 



49. Ficalbia minima, Theo. 



Uranotaenia minima, Theo., Mon, Cul. ii, p. 262 (1901). 

 Mimomyia minuta, Theo., Rec. Ind. Mus. ii, p. 301 (1908). 

 The description of M. mitiuta agrees very well with the type of F. minima, but 

 I have not seen a specimen of the former. This species is hereby designated as 

 the type of the genus Ficalbia, as Theobald did not select a type when describing 

 the genus. The other species which was originally included (F. simplex, Theo.), 

 does not belong here ; it is a true Aedes. 



50. Ficalbia luzonensis (Ludlow). 



Oreillia luzonensis, Ludlow, Can. Ent. xxxvii, p. 101 (1905). 



Etorleptiomyia luzonensis, Ludlow, Can. Ent. xxxviii, p. 185 (1906). 



Etorleptiomyia completiva, Leic, Cul. of Malaya, p. 178 (1908). 

 Some slight discrepancies in the descriptions notwithstanding, I think there 

 is very little doubt that E. luzonensis and E. eonipletiva represent the two sexes 

 of the same species. 



Uranotaenia, Arrib. 



Eev. Mus. La Plata, ii, p. 163 (i891). 



51. Uranotaenia alboannulata (Theo.). 



Anisocheleomyia alboannulata, Theo., Entom. xxxviii, p. 54 (1905). 

 Uranotaenia trilineata, Leic, Cul. of Malaya, p. 204 (1908). 

 I have compared the types, but the species is so elaborately marked that even 

 without this final test their specific identity would be unmistakeable. 



52. Uranotaenia nivipes (Theo.) 



Anisocheleomyia nivipes, Theo., Entom. xxxviii, p. 53 (1905). 

 Pseiidoiiranotaenia triangulata, Ludlow, Can. Ent. xl, p. 331 (1908). 

 Uranotaenia nivea, Leic, Cul. of Malaya, p. 211 (1908). 

 Types of A. nivipes and U. nivea compared with one another and with speci- 

 mens of P. triangulata named by Dr. Ludlow. 



53. Uranotaenia atra, Theo. 



Uranotaenia atra, Theo., Ann. Mus. Nat. Hung, iii, p. 114 (1905). 



Uranotaenia ceylonica J Theo., Mon. Cul. v, p. 503 (1910). 

 I have examined the type of U. atra, among other species, through the kindness 

 of Dr. K. Kertesz of the Hungarian Museum. It is mouldy and rubbed and 

 scarcely recognisable, but I could see nothing at all to separate it from U. ceylonica, 

 and so the latter name may as well be rejected.
