488 A Monograph of Culicidae. 



shorter than the mid, which it meets ; posterior equal to mid and distant 

 twice its own length. Halteres light. 



Length. — 4 to 4*5 mm. 



Habitat. — Angeles Pampanga, Luzon, Philippine Islands. 



Time of capture. — September (Miss Ludlow)." 



Observations. — -This species was described by Miss Ludlow 

 from several specimens taken by Dr. Whitmore. 



It is a very distinct species, easily told by the white scaled 

 head and thorax and speckled femora. 



Miss Ludlow suggests that it looks like my T. tenax, but it is 

 quite distinct. 



Taeniorhynchus tenax. Theobald. 

 Mono. Culicid. II., p. 199 (1901), and III., p. 258 (1903), Theobald. 



var. maculipes. Theobald. 

 First Rept. Gord. Coll. Well. Labs., p. 79 (1905). 



Very similar to the type, but with the femora and tibiae of 

 all three pairs of legs with a row of clear white spots on one side. 



The banding of the legs passes slightly on to the apices of the 

 preceding segments above, forming apical pale spots. The tibiae 

 and to some extent the femora have black bristles. The wings 

 resemble the type, but there is some variation in the relative 

 lengths of the fork-cells and their stems ; in the type of this 

 variety the first sub-marginal cell is considerably longer and 

 narrower than the second posterior cell, its stem less than one- 

 half the length of the cell, its base nearer the base of the wing 

 than that of the second posterior cell ; stem of the second posterior 

 cell half the length of the cell ; posterior cross-vein about twice 

 its own length distant from the mid. 



Length. — -6*5 mm. 



Habitat. — Kenissa, White Nile and Middle Sobat. 



var. ocellaia. n. v. 



Head with pale narrow-curved scales similar to the type, and 

 upright ochreous ones in the middle, a patch behind on each side 

 of flat black scales and black upright forked ones and then flat 

 creamy ones; eyes coppery-red and blue. Thorax as in the type, 

 but with two prominent dark scaled eye-like spots on the pale 

 scaled area and traces of a median one in front ; first sub-marginal 

 <cll much longer but very little narrower than the second posterior
