\Y ings with dense Mansonia scales, the majority brown, some 

 scattered yellow ones especially basally and along the costa and 

 sub-costa ; first fork-cell longer and narrower than jthe second

 Wing of Mansonioides 7 -guttata. ( 9 .) n. sp. 



posterior, its base nearer the apex of the wing, its stem more 

 than half the length of the cell, stem of the second posterior 

 about two-thirds the length of the cell ; posterior cross-vein about 

 two and a half times its own length distant from the mid ; the

 Another wing of Mansonioides 7-guttata. (9-) »• sp. 



sixth vein close to the fifth ; the border-scales of the fringe of 

 two series, one row large and broad and running parallel with 

 the edge of the wing, another sloping forwards, narrower and 

 longer. 



Length. — 4-8 to 5*5 mm. 



Habitat. — Sarawak (Dr. Barker). 



Observations. — In general appearance this species is very like 

 both Mansonia annulifera and Mansonia septemguttata, but it 

 can at once be told by the seven spots on the thorax from the 

 former and from their different distribution from the latter, but 

 most of all by the flat white scaled mid lobe of the scutellum, 

 which character clearly places it in a new genus.
