520 A Monograph of Culicidae. 



Genus FINLAYA. Theobald. 



Mono. Culicid. III., p. 281 (1903), Theobald; Gen. Ins. Fam. Culicid., 

 p. 32 (1905), Theobald; Ann. Mus. Nat. Hung., p. 109 (1905), Theobald. 



This and the next genus, OrtJiopodomyia, Theob., do not come 

 in the Aedinae, but form a connecting link between the Culicinae 

 and Aedinae. The palpi in the 9 are small and rather long, and 

 in the $ they are long, but never as long as the proboscis. 



The marked wing scales and abdominal tufts at once separate 

 this genus.

 Wing of Finlaya %>oicilia. 9 . Theobald. 



Friedrich-Wilhelmshafen ; Seleo Berlinhafen ; Mount Hause- 

 mann, Astrolabe Bay in New Guinea (Biro) ; and at Johnstons 

 River, N. Queensland (Dr. Bancroft). 



Notes. — The New Guinea specimens differ from those from 

 Malaya in the following : (i) leg markings often yellowish instead 

 of white ; (ii) the wings present the following ornamentation : 

 the costal pale areas may be either reduced to two, one small 

 apical one, or four ; the third long vein with two or three pale 

 spots, the sixth with only two. 



A fresh figure is given of the wing. The scales were figured 

 of too pyriform a shape in Vol. III.
