treille, the first entomologist of the age, was 

 kind enough to look over the detailed descrip- 

 tion of those little animals,, which I shall give 

 in a note*. 



* The following is the description of the five new spe- 

 cies : 



1. CULEX CYANOPENNIS, abdomine fusco, piloso, annulis 

 sex albis ; alis cceruleis, tarsis albo annulatis. Thorax fusco-ater, 

 pilosns. Abdomen supra fusco -cserulescens, hirtum, annulis 

 sex albis. Alae caeruleae, splendore semi-metallico, viridenti- 

 venosae, ssepe pulverulentae, marginc externo ciliato. Pedes 

 fusei, tibiis hirtis, tarsis nigrioribus, annulis quatuor niveis. 

 Antennae maris pectinatae.

 Teneriffe, Mompox, Chilloa, Tamalameque caet. (Regno No-
