[ ll 7 ] 
Abdomen. —Dorsally clad with rich purple and broad basal bands of 
eep golden-yellow scales, venter entirely golden-yellow. 
Male. —With markedly plumose antennae the joints being deep golden- 
'ellow the plumes bright flaxen. The palpi about as long as the proboscis 
narkedly clavate, at the apex clad with deep golden-yellow scales and torn 
>ands of black scales one at the apex, one at the apex of the penultimate 
oint, another in its centre and a third imperfect one at its base. 
In all other respects the male is ornamented as the female. 
Occurrence. —Described from one male and female the male was caught 
n my bungalow Kuala Lumpur the female in the jungle at Raub. 
Remarks. —A typical Conopomyia and easily distinguished from the 
)ther species by its much richer colouring. Like Hybrida it has abdominal 
mnds but the former has unbanded legs. C. Metalhca has banded legb 
3ut no abdominal bands but the abdomen has a central longitudinal stripe. 
In remarks on the genus I have commented on the points of resemblance 
of the mosquito to the genus Mimomyia and have also pointed out the 
difference. 
Genus 20.— Skusea. — Theobald. 
This ^enus was originally placed in the Sub-family Acdeomyinae by 
THEOBALD°in Vol. Ill of his “ Monograph,” and my genus Amauromyia 
exactly corresponds to it but in “Genera Insectorum ” 26 me. fascicule 
1905, Theobald has transferred Skusea to the Culicinae as the males ha\ e long 
palpi. This genus is unrepresented in Malaya. 
Genus 21.— Daniclsia. — Theobald. 
Characters. —Head with elongated spatulate scales and a few narrow 
j curved behind on the nape and in front on the vertex. Scutellum with 
narrow-curved scales only male palpi as long as the proboscis. 
Remarks. —This genus is founded on one species sent from Malaya. Its 
affinities are with Macleaya from which it is distinguished by the scutellai 
scaling and Acartomyia from which it differs in the male palpi being 
simple and not clavate as in the former. Except for the cephalic scaling 
it also differs but little from several species of culex. 
[Danielsia Albotaeniata.— Theobald.] 
Head clad with large spatulate scales, a few narrow-curved ones on 
the vertex and behind on the nape, and rows of deep brown upright scales. 
On the anterior two-thirds of the mesonotum is a broad band of silvery 
' scales flanked on either side with bronzy narrow-curved scales, and from 
the posterior end of this white band white scales spread trans\ersely out¬ 
wards on either side to the base of each wing these bands forming wit 
the central band an inverted “ Y.” The posterior third is clad with bronzy 
scales and an edging of silvery scales to the bare space in front of the 
scutellum. Fore legs with creamy band at the knee and tibio-metatarsa 
joints; mid legs with creamy band at base of metatarsus and first tarsal 
joint; hind legs with band on metatarsus and first three tarsal joints.
