i msistently, but do not think too much importance should be attached to 
inor discrepancies in the description of colouring. 
Compound terms, such as blackish-brown, blue-white, etc., are used 
3cause they describe better the colours observed than any single word, 
heir use appears to me to be unavoidable. 
Only species found in Malaya are here described, and except in the sub- 
mily Anophelina only such of these as either have not been previously 
Ascribed or described only from evidently insufficient material and so 
arrant a fuller description than has been possible from imperfect data. 
A Greek terminology has been adopted throughout for generic names 
id Latin for specific names. In nearly all the new genera the termination 
lyia (Greek a fly) has been used for the sake of uniformity.
