214 A Monograph of Culicid ae. 



Uranotaenia, and the costa has spinous scales as in that genus ; 

 first submarginal cell is a little longer and narrower than second 

 posterior cell ; mid and supernumerary cross-veins meet and are 

 about equal in length ; posterior cross- vein is about same length 

 as the others and distant from the mid nearly twice its own 

 length, interior ; basal cell is very long. 



Halteres light, knob mostly yellow scaled. 



Length. — 5*5 mm. 



Habitat. — Camp Stotzenberg, Angeles Pampanga, Luzon, 

 Philippine Islands. 



Time of capture. — September. 



Observations. — Described from one perfect specimen sent by 

 1st Lieut. Eugene R. Whitmore, U.S.A. Caught in the woods 

 and banana trees. 



Further note. — This is a very remarkable species, and 

 undoubtedly, as Miss Ludlow says, comes in a new genus 

 between Macleaya and Finlaya ; the unique sulphur yellow and 

 brown colouring, the peculiar scutellar scaling and abdominal 

 tufts and wing scales, and the Uranotaenia like fork-cells being 

 very characteristic.

In the previous description of this genus it was stated the 

 scutellum had narrow-curved scales, these mostly occur in the 

 centre of the mid lobe, the rest of the scutellum is mainly 

 clothed with small flat scales, which are fewest on the lateral 

 lobes, but form a dense layer on each side of the mid area of 

 narrow-curved scales ; there are a few narrow-curved scales on 

 the lateral lobes also, most prominent in Howard ina aurites. 



Three species occur in the genus, as follows : — 



a. Thorax with golden median lines. 



Sides of thorax white ivalkeri. Theobald. 



Sides of thorax golden aurites. n. sp. 



aa. Thorax with one median golden line , greenii, Theobald,
