(i.) Head with a narrow median line of narrow- 
curved scales and spatulate scales over the rest of 
the surface. Scutellum with narrow curved scales 
only . Genus 17.—Howardina. 
(2.) Head with a few narrow-curved scales behind 
and in front in the middle line and loosely applied 
spatulate scales elsewhere. Male palpi clavate. 
Wing-scales culex-like. Genus 18.— Acartomyia. 
(3.) Head with spatulate scales only. Male palpi 
clavate. Wings with broad spatulate median and no 
lateral scales. Genus 19.—Conopomyia. 
(4.) Head entirely clad with spatulate scales. 
Scutellum with narrow-curved scales. Male palpi 
short. Wings with densely clad fork cells... . . .Genus 20.— Skusea. 
(5.) Head with elongated spatulate scales and a 
few narrow-curved ones behind on the nape. Male 
palpi slender. Genus 21.—Danielsia. 
(6.) Head with spatulate scales coming right up 
to the middle line in front enclosing a central 
triangular area broadest behind which is clad with 
narrow-curved scales. The lateral scales on the 
apices of the wing veins are markedly clavate. Male 
antennae with peculiar tufts of long scales . Genus 22.—Lophoceratomyia. 
(1 d .) Head with a broad area above clad with scattered 
narrow-curved scales the lateral areas clad with spatulate 
scales. Upright scales numerous and inserted as far 
forwards as the vertex. 
(1.) Scutellum entirely clad with long spatulate 
scales with serrated ends. 
(a.) Wings like culex. Genus 23.— Lepidotomyia. 
(2.) Scutellum with spatulate scales on the lateral 
lobes and at the base of the median lobe, narrow-

* Note. —The term normal used in connection with cross-veins of wing means such a condition as is 
ound in the cross-veins of a culex which in the vast number of mosquitoes is the usual position. The mid 
ross vein is in line with the median and the commencement of the posterior cross-vein is always on the 
ide of the median nearer the base of the wing.
