 wing ; marginal transverse long ; the sub-costal transverse short, 

 not far from the marginal. Lateral vein scales on the branches 

 of the second and fourth veins pyriform, also near apex of third

long vein, and a few elsewhere ; median vein scales small, 

 spatulate, composed of a single row. On the sub-costal and first 

 long vein the scales are longer and denser, and there are pyriform 

 ones on the apical area of the latter. 



Length. — 6*5 to 7 mm. 



Habitat. — The $ was originally described from Bonny, West 

 Africa, from a perfect specimen taken by Dr. Annett. The J 

 described here was given me by Mr. Newstead from a series 

 taken by Drs. Dutton and Todd in the Congo Free State. 



Observations. — Originally placed in Culex, it is now made the 

 type of a new genus. 



This species was recorded by Neveu-Lemaire, who described 

 the 9 , from French Guiana. It is not the $ albitarsis because 

 it has the antennae shorter than the proboscis, whilst in albitarsis 

 they are as long as the proboscis, and the ungues in albitarsis 

 are all simple.

Dr. Dyar has placed my Grabhamia jamaicensis as the type of 

 the genus Feltidia. The genus Grabhamia was founded on the 

 species jamaimixis, so Feltidia cannot stand.
