has been wrongly recorded from the Malay States ; the specimens z are T'. ochraceus, 
which differs from 7’. aurites in having no median black ring on the hind tibiae.

Chrysoconops pseudoconopas, Theo., Mon. Cul. V., p. 443 (1910). 
The specimens of C. pseudoconopas have the thorax very much rubbed, but I 
ean see no difference between them and the types of C. annetti?. All the specimens 
I have seen of C. annett?? have the distinguishing characters given by Theobald 
for C. pseudoconopas. The dark scales on the wings eceur chiefly in two tranverse 
bands, one before the tip of the wing and including the bases of the fork-cells, 
the other nearer the base. These anak are more conspicuous in some specimens 
than in others.

Culex drymoecius, Speiser, Kilimandjaro-Meru Exp., Dipt. Orth. p. 42 (1909). 
Dr. Sjéstedt very kindly lent me a specimen of C. drymoecius, and it proved to 
be quite a typical 7’. fuscopennatus, though it certainly did not show the black 
abdominal spots mentioned by Dr. Speiser in his description. As, however, one 
or two males in the British Museum collection show these spots rather indis- 
tinctly, I think C. drymoecius can only be a variety of 7. fuscopennatus. 
Uganda. 
Genus MansontorpEs, Theo. 
Mon. Cul. IV., p. 498 (1907). 
Mansonia, Blanchard, C. R. Soc. Biol., LITT, p. 1046 (1901) (part). 
As suggested by Messrs. Dyar and Knab, and noted above, the Old-W orld 
species of “ Mansonia” cannot be kept in Taentorhynchus. They resemble that 
genus in the peculiar structure of the claws, but the male palpi are so different 
that they are obviously distinct. The penultimate joint is thin and curved 
upwards, as in Culex, but the terminal joint is very short—j to } as long as the 
penultimate, and bent downwards at an angle with it. The etna joint, in all 
the males I have seen (M. uniformis, M. annulipes and M. annulifera) is entirely 
covered with white scales. The resemblance in all structural details, and in 
many minor characters as well, between J. annulifera and M. uniformis is so 
great that I do not think it is possible, in this case at least, to regard the presence 
of flat or narrow-curved scales on the scutellum as a generic character. Probably 
Etorleptiomyia is a synonym, but as the male of &, mediolineata is unknown, | 
have adopted the later name Mansonioides for this genus.
