in the middle of second segment which shows white under a lens ; 

 white scales, may or may not form a complete band, at the apex 

 of the second and third segments ; these scales may involve 

 both sides of the joint — they are variable. Proboscis long, 

 black-scaled, with a narrow band of white scales about its 

 centre. The thoracic scaling is the same as in the female, and 

 the leg scaling also. Wing scaling similar but not so heavy. 

 Abdominal banding more marked, all the segments showing 

 fairly broad basal white bands and large lateral spots. The 

 penultimate segment shows a dorsal patch of white scales with 

 a pearly lustre. The fore and mid ungues large, unequal, larger 

 tooth biserrate. Length, female, 5 mm. ; male 4 mm. 



Time of capture. — April. 



Habitat. — Kuala Lumpur (Dr. Leicester)." 



Observations. — The two types sent by Dr. Leicester are not 

 quite perfect, having been damaged in transit. They were bred 

 from larvae taken in bamboo jungle on the Pahang Road, about 

 5 1 miles from Kuala Lumpur. The thoracic adornment is so 

 very marked the species cannot well be mistaken, for in Macleaya 

 tremula, which it resembles, the golden scales of the mesothorax 

 form but very indistinct lines, not clear narrow ones as in this 

 species. Dr. Leicester's description of the scutellum must be 

 modified, for the scales are certainly not of the usual spindle 

 shape, but flattened on the mid lobe, much smaller and more 

 irregular than in Stegomyia and with more rounded apices.

This species comes well in this genus. It has been found 

 in the following fresh locality : Dehra Dhoon (Capt. Thomson).*
