id with flaxen hairs and small shoulder tufts of mixed white and dark 
own scales. Scutellum, dark in the centre, paler laterally, clad with pale 
L irs. Pleurae, dark brown. Wings, clad with dark brown and ochraceous 
ales. The costa, subcosta and first long vein, clad with dark scales, except 
r a spot of ochraceous scales just beyond the junction of sub-costa and 
•sta and another where the first long vein joins the margin and a small spot 
the base of the first long vein which does not pass on to the subcosta or 
)sta ; second vein with a few dark scales at the base of the stem, ochraceous 
ales on the rest, its upper branch entirely dark scaled except for a patch 
yellow scaling forming part of the second costal spot, lower branch, dark at 
)ex and base, pale between ; third vein, pale scaled except for a small spot 
the base; fourth vein with a few dark scales at the base, ochraceous ones 
; far as the fork cell, its upper branch with dark spot at base and apex, its 
wer branch with one dark spot at apex ; fifth vein, with a dark spot at 
5 base and two on its upper and one on its lower branch; sixth, with two 
irk spots ; fringe, black except for a golden patch opposite lower branch of 
:cond and the third vein; border scales, yellow ; first fork cell much longer 
lan the second, its base much nearer the wing base, its stem about one-third 
•e length of the cell; posterior cross vein less than its own length from 
te median. Coxae, dark brown, clad with hairs only. Legs, clad with 
irk brown scales sometimes entirely without bands, but as in other 
.embers of this group great variety is exhibited with regard to this point, 
le specimen having basal and apical creamy bands on the metatarsus 
id first two tarsal joints of all legs. 
Abdomen. —Black, with pale hairs only. No ventral tuft of scales 
.1 the eighth segment. 
Occurrence. —Bred from larvae taken in large collections of water in the 
ien near Kuala Lumpur. 
Remarks. —Though this mosquito has no ventral scale tuft, which is one 
f the marked characteristics of members of this genus, I do not think its 
osition here can be disputed. It may be a variety of Sinensis, though it 
iems to be quite distinct from it, and the points of distinction seem 
instant. The brown mesonotum, the white apical palpal joint, and the 
redominance of yellow scales on the wing, are all points distinguishing 
from Sinensis. 
Genus 5.—Pyretophorus.— Blanchard. 
Head, with upright scales and a tuft of long hair-like scales and shorter 
inceolate scales on the vertex. Thorax, with upright scales on the should- 
rs, a rosette of lanceolate scales on the anterior margin and a few narrow 
:ales on the dorsum. Abdomen, with hairs only, except on the genital 
)bes which may be scaled. Wings, much spotted and with fusiform or 
luntly lanceolate lateral scales. 
Remarks. —One species of this genus occurs here. It is closely related 
d Myzomyia, but differs from that genus in having definite scales as well as 
airs on the dorsum of the mesonotum. These scales are usually narrow 
nd lanceolate in shape or curved. They are never broad like the scales in 
'lyssorhyncus, and the abdomen has no scales as members of the latter 
enus have.
