Three new species have been added to this genus since 1903, 

 and two new ones are described here. 

 The species known are : — 



P. longirostris, Theobald (Mono. Culicid. II., p. 275, and p. 277 (1901), and 



III., p. 311 (1903). 

 P. quasilongirostris . n. sp. 

 P. jpallidov enter, n. sp. 



P. bimaculipes, Theobald (Ann. Mus. Nat. Hung. II., p. 114, 1905). 

 P. indica, Theobald (Ann. Mus. Nat. Hung. III., p. 115, 1905). 

 P. magna, Theobald (Ann. Mus. Nat. Hung. III., p. 117, 1905). 



Phoxiomyia quasilongirostris. n. sp. 



Resembles P. longirostris, but the mid legs have the second, 

 third and fourth tarsals all white and also the fifth except its 

 apex, and the hind legs have the last two tarsals with white 

 bases beneath. The stem of the first sub-marginal cell is about 

 one-fourth the length of the cell, whilst in longirostris it is only 

 a little less than one-half its length. The metanotum has also 

 only three chaetae, and there are no abdominal bands. Tt is 

 also larger. 



Length. — 4 mm., with proboscis 8 mm. 



Habitat. — Mana, Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil (Dr. Fajardo). 



Time of capture. — April. 



Observations. — Described from two 9 ' s - They much resemble 

 P. longirostris, but there are some differences which are pointed 

 out above. I feel some hesitation, however, in treating it as a 

 distinct species. 



Phoxiomyia pallidoventer. n. sp. 



Head deep brown with silvery scales in front ; proboscis deep 

 brown. Thorax brown ; pleurae brown with white puncta. 

 Abdomen almost black with a silvery white spot on each side 

 forming a white line ; genitalia yellowish. Legs deep brown ; 

 mid legs with the tarsi silvery white, except one side of the 

 second and the last, which show jet black ; hind legs with a basal 

 white spot beneath on the last two segments.
