jsemble those illustrated as belonging to a male Mimomyia which latter 
enus Mr. Theobald places in the sub-family Aedeomyina while the 
dng scales of Mimomyia resembles those seen in members of my genus 
lonopomyia. Altogether I prefer to retain Dasymyia in the sub-family 
)ulicina as the male palpi are much longer than those seen in any member 
f the sub-family Aedeomyina. 
Genus n. —Phagomyia, — Theobald. 
This Genus is unrepresented in Malaya. 
L 
Genus 12. —Catageiomyia. — Theobald. 
Only one species of this is at present known from West Africa. It 
pparently does not occur here. 
Genus 13.— Polyleptiomyia. — Theobald. 
This Genus is unrepresented here. 
Genus 14. —Scutomyia. — Theobald. 
Head covered with large spatulate scales except on the vertex where 
here are narrow-curved scales. Scutellum with racquet-shaped scales. 
Prothoracic lobes with narrow-curved scales above and spatulate ones 
jelow. Proboscis long and slender. Male palpi shorter than the proboscis. 
Remarks. — Founded on one species fairly common in jungle here. It 
s a slender mosquito and differs from Stegomyia in having narrow-curved 
scales on the head and similar scales on the prothoracic lobes whereas in 
Stegomyia there are only flat scales on the head and prothoracic lobes. 
Another point of difference is the absence of any broad scales on the shoul¬ 
ders and the scales on the scutellum differ from those on the scutellum of 
Stegomyia. 
Scutomyia Albolineata. — Theobald. 
A small black and white mosquito with a conspicuous white central band 
running nearly the whole length of the thorax and pearly-white lateral 
spots to the abdomen. At first sight one might mistake this mosquito for 
Stegomyia scutellaris but the hind legs have only tw'O bands and not four 
as has scutellaris. 
Female Head. —Black, in front between the eyes there is a triangular 
tuft of long white narrow r scales, behind this there is a patch of bluish- 
white broad scales extending back to the nape. Except for a few wihite 
scales at the side arranged as a narrow band the rest of the head is clad 
with broad black scales. Round the occipital foramen there are a few rows 
of black upright forked scales. "V ertical bristles black, orbital black 
with pale tips. Basal joint of antenna black with its inner face thickly 
clad with small broad white scales and a few black ones at the immediate 
base, remaining joints black, pale at the insertion of the verticils, with, a 
few black scales on the second joint, and numerous short silky white hairs
