and narrow the lateral broadly linear ; fork cells of about equal bread* thi 
first longer than the second, its base a little nearer the apex of wing it' 
stem nearly as long as the cell; posterior cross-vein rather more than iti 
own length from the median. Coxae brown with silvery scales fore coxa

fore and mid femora dark brown scaled except on the under surface which 
is silvery, hind femora ochraceous at the base with a broad silvery banc

and mid ungues unequal and each unguis on both legs has a tooth. 
Genitalia with slender lobes clad with black scales and a few golden spines

Occurrence.— This mosquito though resembling the previous species i 
quite distinct. The following points serve to distinguish it from trilineatt 
there is no band on the proboscis, the white tip on each palp is less markei 
the yellow lines on the mesonotum are deeper in colour than in trilineata 
and it is a larger mosquito. The larvae are quite distinct and found in rod 
pools and not in bamboo. As I have never taken the imago of thi 
mosquito I do not know anything of its habits. It is evidently rare as s< 
far it has only been found in one place namely Ulu Gombak jungle. 
Genus 16.—Macleaya.— Theobald. 
Only one species of this genus is known and it is an Australian 
species. It comes very close to the preceding genus. 
Genus 17.—Howardina.— Theobald. 
( ™ s . genus is apparently unrepresented here. In Vol. III. “ Monograph 
of Culicidae, Theobald, a genus with this name is placed in the 
Aedeomymae. . But Mr. Theobald had not then received any males and he 
has since received such and has transferred the genus. 
Genus 18.—Acartomyia.— Theobald. 
Apparently unrepresented here.
