at Djibuti. He said it agreed with T. perturbans in having simple claws in the 

 female, and basal white bands on the tarsal joints ; only two African species 

 known to me have these characters — Howardina gebeleinensis and M, uniformis, 

 and the former is ruled out on account of its rarity.

 The last two joints of the male palpi are about equal in length (in my previous 

 paper it was erroneously stated that the terminal joint is " longer than the 

 penultimate "). The third (last) joint is distinctly thicker than the second.

 Grabhamia is not, as stated in my previous paper, a synonym of Culex ; the 

 type species, though possessing simple claws in the female and male palpi similar 

 to those of Culex, has the female abdomen of the Aedes type, and so Grabhamia 

 must be placed near Howardina. Messrs. Dyar and Knab include it in 

 Janthinosoma, which it closely resembles in the structure of the male palpi. 



As several new species have been described or are recorded as new to the 

 African fauna, a fresh table of species has been given, and the opportunity has 

 been taken of including Dr. Neveu-Lemaire's species in it ; although I am still 

 unable to recognise these, they seem to be distinct, so far as can be made out 

 from the descriptions.
