FAM. CULICIDvE 33 



the 9 > l° n g- Eves with large and pronounced facets. Legs with rather prominent scaly tufts on the femora. 

 Wings spotted, with large broad, more a less pyriform light and dark scales. 



This genus can at once be told hy the scales of the head, wings and abdomen. Recent discovery 

 of q?'s show it to belong to the Cidicinae. 



Geographical distribution of species. — Three species occur, two being found in Asia and 

 one in the East Indes.

5. SUBFAM. JOBLOTIN/E, Theobald 



Trichoprosoponina. Theobald. 



This subfamily so far contains but a single genus (Joblotia), It is separated from the Cidicinae on 

 account of the metanotum having scales and chaetae. 



Characters. — Head clothed with flat scales and with a ring of upright forked scales across the 

 posterior part. Thorax with rather flat spindle- shaped scales ; prothoracic lobes with flat scales; scutellum 

 with dense flat spindle-shaped scales; metanotum with a tuft of chaetae and with flat scales; apex of 

 abdomen in 9 bristly; in the cf the basal lobes of the genitalia densely scaled. Palpi of 9 short, 

 densely scaled, in the (f long, acuminate, not hairy, apex bristly. Wings with densely scaled veins, with 

 rather broad flat scales, somewhat like Taeniorhynchus but shorter ; fork-cells long; anal cell veiy large; 

 mid cross- vein nearer the apex of the wing than the supernumerary; posterior cross-vein in a line with 

 the mid. Clypeus bristly, also basal segments of the antennae. Second long vein nearly reaching the 

 base of the wing. Larvae with short, thick, barrel shaped siphon. Eggs laid singly. Sylvan in habits.

6. SUBFAM. AEDEOMYIN/E, THEOBALD (1) 



This subfamily contains all those Culicids in which thee? and 9 palpi are short, often very short, 

 the rf palpi never being long as in the preceding subfamilies. There are at present known i5 genera and 



1 Blanchard prefers the term Aedinae.
