506 A Monograph of Culicidae. 



This forms a very distinct genus, easily told by the curious 

 heart-shaped scales on the wings. The proboscis seems very weak. 

 The Mansonia-like scales are not exactly as in that genus, but 

 approach them very closely. 



Two species are known in this very marked genus, namely : — 

 jE7. mediojpunctata, Theobald, Gordon Coll. Well. Lab. Reports, 

 p. 71 (1904), Sudan ; and E. luzonensis, Ludlow, Canad. Ento. 

 XXXVII., p. 101 (1905).

9 . Head dark, covered with light (almost white) curved
