124 A Monograph of Cidicidae. 



Wings dark with very transparent scales, like the wings of Mansonia 

 titillans. 



Cross-veins and costa yellow, scales long and nearly all black, a few on 

 costa yellow, forming on the margins some very indistinct patches. There 

 are some other pale scales on the long veins. Base of the two-fork cells 

 almost level, but the second a little nearer to the base; the stalks fairly 

 long about half length of cell. Supernumerary and mid cross-veins form 

 an obtuse angle open to the base, the posterior runs parallel with the mid, 

 but a little nearer the base of the wing. Hal teres white with a dark 

 knob with small yellowish white scales. 



Habitat. — Brazil (Lutz)." 



Notes. — Dr. Oswald Cruz, in writing to me, points out the 

 different generic characters very clearly. A female sent by him 

 to the Museum so exactly agrees that it is unnecessary to 

 supplement Lutz's original description. 



Cruz records it from Juiz de Fora (Minas, Brazil). 



The following species I have not seen or cannot be sure of 

 their actual position. 



Anopheles pictus. Loew (1845). 

 Myzorhjnchus ? pictus. Loew. 



Dipt. Beitrage Posen., p. 4 (1845-1850), Loew; Handbk. Gnats, London, 

 p. 147, 4 (1900), Giles, and 2nd ed., p. 317, 30 (1902), Giles; Brit. Med. 

 Journ. I., p. 307 (1900) (? this species), Thin; C. E. de la Soc. de Biol. 

 LIIL, pp. 991 and 993, Laveran (?this species), 1901; Mono. Culicid. 

 L, p. 210, 39 (1901), Theobald; Les Moustiques, p. 191 (Paris), Blan- 

 chard (1905). 



This is apparently not Ficalbi's A. pictus (1896). I believe it 

 to be the same as Grassi pseudopictus, but until material is 

 received from Rhode Island, Asia Minor, it is best to leave it 

 undecided. 



Dr. Thin records it from Java and Shanghai, and Laveran 

 from Haut-Tonkin and Harioi. In both cases M. sinensis is 

 evidently referred to as an allied species. 



Giles (Re vis. Anop., p. 27), takes my Myzomyia leptomeres 

 (vol. iii., p. 38) to be this species. It does not in the least agree 

 with Loew's description of pictus.
