334 A Monograph of Culicidae. 



golden ; pleurae deep brown, with pale creamy flat scales : raeta- 

 notum brown. 



Abdomen blackish, with basal creamy bands and pale brown 

 to dull golden hairs ; basal segment with many pale scales. 



Legs with the femora and tibiae mottled brown and yellow, 

 fore and mid first tarsals with narrow basal white bands, also the 

 next two tarsals ; in the hind legs the bands are broader and are 

 present on all the segments \ fore and mid ungues large, unequal, 

 both uniserrated, the hind equal and uniserrated. 



Wings with rather broad lateral vein-scales, especially on the 

 branches of the second long vein ; many scales on the first long 

 vein Taeniorhynchus-like. First sub-marginal cell considerably 

 longer and narrower than the second posterior cell, their bases 

 nearly level ; stem of the first sub-marginal cell nearly as long as 

 the cell ; stem of the second posterior longer than the cell ; mid 

 cross- vein longer than either the supernumerary or posterior 

 cross- veins, the latter about its own length distant from the mid 

 cross-vein. 



Male genitalia with the claspers long and broad, spiny 

 towards the apex, apical segment short and thick ; one side of 

 the apex of the basal lobes armed with short hook-like spines ; a 

 large, pineapple-shaped, densely tuberculate process from the base 

 of each side ; the harpogones long, composed of two segments, the 

 apical one broadly knife-shaped and curved on its inner edge. 



Length. — 5 * 5 mm. 



Habitat. — New Forest, Brockenhurst (C. O. Waterhouse). 



Observations. — Described from a single $ , easily told from all 

 other banded legged Culicada by the strange male genitalia and 

 the posterior uniserrate ungues. 



Mr. Waterhouse has found the larvae in March, so that 

 probably the eggs are l&id in mud around the pools and hatch 

 out in the spring.*

This is a very distinct species that comes in Felt's genus 

 Culicada. It is not in the least connected or near Culex si/lvcstris, 

 Theob., as the describer says ; he separates it from Culex sylvestr is, 



* Since this went to press some 9 's have been received.
