SPECIES OF CULEX AND ALLIED GENERA. 265 
20. C. piliferus, Theo., Mon. Cul. IV, p. 274 (1907). 
Maillotia pilifera, Theo. lc. 
This species closely resembles a small Culex, so is included here, as Mazllotia 
only differs from Culex in the size of the scales on the head and thorax. 
S unknown. 
Algeria. 
21. C. insignis, Carter, Bull. Ent. Res. II, p. 37 (1911). 
Culiciomyia insignis, Carter, lc. 
Nyasaland ; Uganda; Congo Free State (Colquilhatville) ; S. Nigeria ; Sierra 
Leone. 
22. C. rima, Theo., Q, Mon. Cul. I, p. 327 (1901). 
(Nec Neomelanoconion rima, Theo., 3, Mon. Cul. IV, p. 514, 1907). 
Melanoconion rimus, Theo., Mon. Cul. IIT, p. 240 (19038). 
Culex rima was founded on female examples, the specimens which Theobald 
took to be the males are only Culiciomyia nebulosa ; the 3 of C. rima has not 
got the peculiar scales on the palpi or the flat scales round the eyes. Since the 
genus Neomelanoconion was founded on the male specimens in question it is a 
synonym of Culiciomyia. 
Ashanti; S. Nigeria ; Congo Free State ; Uganda. 
23. C. sergenti, Theo., Mon. Cul. IIT, p. 218 (1903). 
Algeria. 
24, C. rubinotus, Theo., Second Rep. Welle. Lab., p. 76 (1906). 
A single specimen, with very few scales left on the thorax or abdomen, 
Sudan. 
African Species not included in the preceding Tables. 
C. aegypti, Linn., Hasselquists’ Reise nach Palestina, p. 470 (1762). The 
description is as follows :—“ Culex aegypti articulationibus candidis. Magnitudo 
Culicis vulgaris Linn, Syst. N. 1. Color ex fuseo canus. Crura cana cum 
annulis candidis, parvis, circa articulationes et in articulis. Puncta candida ad 
marginem dorsi in corpore sub alis utrinque, plura, longitudinaliter sita. Annulus 
candidus ad basin thoracis, inter illum et corpus. Linea candida perpendicularis 
juxta oculos, utrinque una parva. Locus, Aegyptus, Culice communi rarior.” 
C. longefurcatus, Becker, Berl. Mitt. Zool. II, 3, p. 68 (1903). In his 
description Becker says “ One sees no trace of sealing on the whole body.” The 
name had therefore better be dropped altogether. 
C. maculiventris, Meg., Dipt. Exot. Sup. I, p. 7 (1846). This evidently 
belongs to the dorsalis group, but the description is not full enough for purposes 
of tabulation. 
C. rufinus, Bigot (Theo., Mon. Cul. IT, p. 169); C. puszllus, Meq. (Theo., 
Mon. Cul. II, pp. 122, 166); C. pallipes, Meq., nee Mg. ( = C. melanorhinus, 
Giles; Theo., Mon, Cul, II, p. 171). The descriptions of these species are 
inadequate,
