1 The type species of Myzomyia is il/. rossii Giles, but this species does not 

 conform to the characters of Myzomyia as now usually understood. Group 6, 

 therefore, though it contains most of the well-known MyzomyicB (A . funesta, 

 A. listoni, etc.) cannot correctly be described as Myzomyia, which name ought 

 to be retained for whatever group M. rossii represents. Similarly, the name 

 Pseudomyzomyia proposed by Theobald for M. rossii is incorrect.
