Abdomen .—Dark purple-brown above, below the segments are scalec 
silvery-white except for a narrow dark brown band at the apex of eacl 
segment the scales on the last two apparent segments are in some specimen: 
yellow. The lateral spots are triangular in shape the upper side of the 
triangle being concave. At the base of the last four or five segments there 
is a patch of yellow scales the lateral spots here being parti-coloured. 
Male .—In the only specimen obtained the head is not so flattened fron 
side to side the central white line is reduced to a white spot the basal join 
of the antennae is lighter in colour the antennae are plumose with dark olive 
brown plumes. Palpi very slender longer than proboscis by about the las 
joint scaled dark purple-brown with a creamy ring at the base of the ultimate 
penultimate and the centre of the antepenultimate joints. The clypeus is 
scaled as in the female. Fore ungues markedly unequal the larger toothec 
at the base the smaller simple. Mid ungues equal and both uni-serrate 
Hind equal and simple. Genitalia simple consisting of a rather long basa 
piece of equal breadth throughout and a long chitinous clasper shaped like 
the blade of a scythe. In all other respects the male resembles the female. 
Occurrence .—Like other members of this genus this species appears tc 
be entirely sylvan and is apparently very local in its distribution. It ha: 
only been found where other members of the genus are common. I have 
seen no specimens at “ The Gap ” though L. Dolicocephala was ven 
common there. The only places I have taken it so far are jungle off the 
Pahang Road, Kuala Lumpur, and at Ulu Gombak. There is a stretch o 
jungle about five miles from Kuala Lumpur on the Pahang Road where 
members of this genus are exceedingly common during the months ol 
October, November and December, and to be found at all times though not 
in such numbers. This species is not so common as the previous one but 
I have a series of females though only one male. It is a bamboo breeder 
but I have not recognized the larva. It is quite distinct from the other 
members of the genus the banded legs the white tipped palpi and in the 
male the banded palpi and the scaled clypeus all serving to distinguish it, 
The scaling of the clypeus though to be noticed does not I think warrant 
separating it from this genus which in all other points it so closely 
resembles. 
Genus 9. —Chaetomyia. — nov. gen. 
Head clad with large spatulate and upright scales the latter confined 
to the nape. Proboscis thick. Female palpi more than half the length 01 
the proboscis, male palpi longer than the proboscis very slender and with¬ 
out hairs. Prothoracic lobes clad with large spatulate scales. Mesonotum 
with dense covering of hair-like scales with broad curved scales along the 
nlargin and on the shoulders. Scutellum with broad spatulate scales. 
Me'tanotum with scales and chaetae. 
Remarks .—Founded on one species. It comes close to the genus 
Leicesteria resembling it in the scaling and the long female palpi, but 
differs in having scales and chaetae on the metanotum the only culicinathat 
shews this character. It is purely sylvan and like Leicesteria breeds in 
water in bamboos. The head scaling is similar to that seen in Desvoidya
