54. Uranotaenia testacea, Theo. 



Uranotaenia testacea, Theo., Ann. Mus. Nat. Hung, iii, p. 113 (1905). 



Uranotaenia falcipcs, Banks, Phil. J. Sci. i, p. 1004 (1906). 



Uranotaenia unilineata, Leic, Cul. of Malaya, p. 220 (1908). 

 The British Museum contains an example of U. testacea from Burma, named 

 by Theobald, nine cotypes of Leicester's U. unilineata, and a paratype (?) of 

 U. falcipes from the Philippine Islands named by Banks. In the last-named 

 specimen the pleurae are not unsealed as stated in Banks' description, but have 

 the usual line of blue scales distinctly present. 



55. Uranotaenia leicesteri, nom. n. 



Uranotaenia fusca, Leic, Cul. of Malaya, p. 227 (1908) (nee U.fusca, Theo,, 

 1907). 

 This species is quite distinct from Theobald's U, Jusca, and hence requires 

 renaming. 



Orthopodomyia, Theo. 



Entom. xxxvii, p. 236 (1904). 



Bancroftia, Lutz, Mosq. do Brazil (1904). 

 The species of Orthopodomyia and Bancroftia are identical in all structural 

 details, and differ from practically all other Culicidae in the relative lengths of 

 the front tibial and tarsal joints. I do not know the exact date of Lutz's work, 

 and so use Theobald's name for the genus at present. 



56. Orthopodomyia anopheloides (Giles). 



Mansonia anopheloides, Giles, J. Trop. Med. vi, p. 315 (1903). 



Orthopodomyia albipes var. nigritarsis, Leic, Cul. of Malaya, p. 177 (1908). 



Orthopodomyia maculata, Theo., Rec Ind. Mus. iv, p. 29 (1910). 

 I very much doubt whether O. albipes and O. maculipes are anything more than 

 colour varieties of O. anopheloides, while as to the synonymy given above there 

 can be no question. The types of O. anopheloides are in the British Museum. 

 The Ceylon specimens referred by Mr. Theobald to 0. maculipes are really only 

 O. anopheloides. The three forms seem only distinguishable by the presence or 

 absence of small black rings on the third and fourth joints of the hind tarsi. 



Tribe 4. Sabethini. 



The genera Harpagomyia, Hodgesia, Topomyia, Zeugnomyia Mimeteomy'ia, 

 Rachisoura, and Rachionotomyia must be placed in this tribe, although none of 

 their species possess postnotal setae. Their true relationship is shown in 

 various ways, e.g., the shortness of the hind tibiae, the structure of the male 

 genitalia, the slightly keeled appearance of the postnotum, and the general 

 appearance of the scaly covering ; the species usually have metallic scales on 

 the front part of the head. A reduction in the number of these genera will 

 probably have to be made.
