sickle-shaped ; harpogones small, dark, claw-like ; setaceous 

 lobes sessile, with many spines on the apex and sides, of a black 

 colour. 



Length. — 5*8 to 6 mm. 



Habitat. — Osaka, Japan. 



Observations. — Described 

 ago through Mr. Cornford ; 

 been lost. 



This species was put on one side as Culex fat i gam, but its 

 general form seemed different, being larger and of a more 

 straggling build. It differs in having white scaled J palpi, in 

 the male palpi being much longer than the proboscis, in the 

 marked male genitalia and in the wing venation ; the short stalk 

 of the first fork-cell is noticeable at once, although variable, and 

 the thorax shows definite but obscure ornamentation. The 

 stalked setaceous lobes of the male genitalia are also very 

 characteristic.
