and about the same length, its stem the same length as the cell, 
whilst that of the second posterior is shorter. Ungues of fore legs

acuminate. Male genitalia with prominent claspers.

(Observations.— Described from a series of males and females 
collected by Dr. Bancroft, at Burpengary, S. Queensland. No 
other known Australian species has a similar abdomen. It 
cannot be confused with any other species. The male ungues 
are very marked. It clearly comes in Felt's new genus Gulicada). 
I bred out these mosquitoes from mixed larva?, obtained in a 
well in the Burpengary scrub. Eggs and larvae, and whether 
the mosquito will bite were not observed.
