3o DIPTERA 



SPECIES UNIDENTIFIABLE EXCEPT FROM THE TYPES (i) 



The following species are described so briefly that they cannot possibly be identified except by 

 means of the types which I have been unable to trace.

25.GenusTAENIORHYNCHUS,Arribalzaga (modified byTheobald) 



Taeniorhynchus. Airibalzaga, Dipt. Argent, p. 47 (1899), modified by Theobald, Mon. Culic. Vol. 2. 

 p. 190 ( 1 901). 



Characters. — Head clothed with narrow-curved, upright forked and flat lateral scales. Thorax 

 with narrow-curved scales. Abdomen with flat scales. Palpi long in the rf , short in the 9> the fifth 

 segment in the 9 minute, buried in the preceeding, the cf palpi longer than the proboscis. Wings with 

 similar venation to Culex but clothed with thick elongated scales ending either diagonally, convexly or 

 acutely; median linear scales often absent. Legs usually spotted and proboscis banded. This genus is 

 separated from Culex as account of the wing scales. Probably the group of yellow species centered around 

 T.fulvus. Wiedemann, will have to be excluded and placed in a new genus. 



Geographical distribution of species. — The genus is represented in Europe, Asia. Africa 

 America and New-Zealand but so far no species have been found in Australia or any of the Oceanic 

 Islands.

(1) These and a few others I propose to abolish as the descriptions are not sufficient to identifv the species and I cannot trace the types.
