lere being a patch of narrow-curved scales on the occiput and the rest of 
xe head is covered with large spatulate scales and upright ones confined 
) the occiput, but the long female palpi while resembling those in Leices- 
iria distinguish this species from Desvoidya while the presence of chaetae 
nd scales on the mesonotum separate it at once from both the above- 
lentioned genera. 
I*'"' 
Chaetomyia Flava. n. sp. 
A large mosquito. Head clad with dark brown and pale golden 
patulate scales arranged in alternate bands and with creamy upright 
cales behind, and a patch of pale golden narrow-curved scales in the centre 
>f the occiput. Palpi rather more than half the. length of the proboscis, 
vletanotum with chaetae and narrow scales. Mesonotum with dark bronze 
cales on the dorsum and a lateral band of pale golden scales round the 
ulterior half. Abdomen with apical bands and large creamy-yellow lateral 
)ands. 
Female Head .—Dark brown, clad with large spatulate and a few narrow- 
;urved scales arranged as follows:—a large central patch of pale golden 
scales, in the centre of which towards the vertex is a small patch of deep 
irown scales and behind in the centre a patch of golden narrow-curved 
scales ; on either side of the central patch is a band of deep brown scales 
lanked by a band of golden scales and these are succeeded by a band of 
lark brown scales. The upright scales are pale flaxen and cover an area 
roughly circular occupying the centre but they do not extend forwards to 
[he vertex. The area clad with golden scales above varies in different 
specimens. Basal joint of antenna honey-yellow with small pale yellow 
scales on its inner face, remaining joints deep purple with purple verticillate 
hairs. Palpi and proboscis clad with deep brown scales, the palpi being 
about half as long as the proboscis. 
Thorax .—Prothoracic lobes clad with deep brown spatulate scales on 
the upper half behind and with creamy elliptical and linear scales below, 
the front being golden scaled. Mesonotum light brown, the dorsum clad 
with a dense feltwork of dark bronze scales while on the anterior margin is 
a band of pale golden scales. Pleurae light yellowish-brown with patches 
of creamy pale golden and dark brown scales which are of various shapes 
some being racquet-shaped, others narrow-curved, elliptical and spatulate. 
Wings with yellow veins clad with ligulate median and linear lateral scales; 
fork cells long, first longer and narrower than the second, its base nearer 
wing apex, its stem rather more than half the length of the cell ; 
posterior cross-vein rather more than its own length from the median. 
Coxae pale yellowish-brown with creamy scales ; legs clad with deep brown 
scales except the ventral surfaces of femora which are golden-brown ; the 
apex of each tibia shews a creamy-yellow band and a similar band exists at 
the base on the metatarsus and first three tarsal joints of the hind leg. The 
metanotum is light golden-brown and shows a few narrow golden scales 
and bristles, the number of these varying in different specimens. 
Abdomen .—Clad with deep brown scales above, the apex of segments two 
to five inclusive shewing a small band of yellow scales convex on the
