three terminal segments. Antennae scaled. Antennae 

 in $ pilose and longer than the whole body. 

 Species, two. 



Genus 2. Aedes. — Head, narrow curved scales 

 form a broad median line only. Other scales flat. 

 Scutelluni, narrow curved scales, six bristles. Palpi 

 in $ , four segments, apical segment minute, mam- 

 milliform. Traces of a fifth segment. Species, two 



(Fig- .48). 



Genus 3. Aedimorphus. — Head, mostly flat 

 scales, narrow curved behind. Scutellum, flat 

 scales, eight (?) bristles. Has no flat thoracic scales 

 as Uranotaenia ; probably a Culicine. Species, one. 



Genus 4. Verrallina. — Head as in Skusea. 

 Palpi, two segments only (trace of a third), apical 

 segment large. Scutellum, four bristles and narrow 

 curved scales. Species, three. 



Genus 5. Ficalbia. — Intermediate between 

 last two and next genus. Head scales, no narrow 

 curved, almost entirely flat. Scutellum, flat scales 

 as in Uranotaenia, but thoracic scales narrow curved. 

 Palpi, two segments. Species, two. 



Genus 6. Uranotaenia. — Head, flat scales, 

 upright forked may or may not be present. 

 Scutellum flat scales. Thorax, narrow curved and 

 flat scales. Wings, small forked cells. Metallic 

 scales at the base of the wings. Related to Aedes, 

 but more brilliant (metallic) and stouter mos- 

 quitoes. Species, fourteen. 



Genus 7. Mimomyia. — Resembles Urano- 

 taenia. Has no flat scutellar or thoracic scales. 

 Forked cells larger than Uranotaenia. No metallic 

 scales at the base of the wings. Species, two. 



Genus 8. Aedeomyia. — Allied to Aedes. Dis- 

 tinguished by (i) head scales upright, fan-shaped ;
