deep brown, shiny with brown scales, a line of grey scales on each side ir 
front of the wings ; pleurae yellowish-brown. Abdomen black dorsally, bas( 
of venter yellowish. Legs deep brown, coxae and venter of femora yellowish 
Male. —Head deep brown with very small narrow-curved dull browi 
scales, slightly golden around the eyes and with numerous deep ochreou: 
upright forked scales and small flat dull brown ones laterally; palpi shorte: 
than the proboscis, thin, scaly, brown except at the actual base where the\ 
are testaceous, the two apical joints are small, the penultimate a little longei 
than the apical one, apex bristly (the exact number of joints cannot be made 
out owing to the scales). Clypeus small, rather long and bright testaceous 
Proboscis brown, yellowish-brown at the base, fairly long and swoller 
apically. Antennae with the basal joint brown with a hoary sheen, testaceous 
in the cup-like depression and with a very pronounced blunt prominence orl 
the inner side the prominence having fine hairs on one portion, the foui 
following joints normal, the sixth to ninth with varied processes, the twc 
long apical joints very pubescent. Thorax deep shiny brown with scatterec 
bronzy-brown narrow-curved scales, at the base of the wings the integument 
is pallid ; prothoracic lobes with dull grey flat scales; scutellum testaceous 
with small narrow-curved black scales and four black bristles to the mic 
lobe; pleurae ochreous-brown. 
Abdomen violet-black with bronzy reflections in certain lights, basa 
segment bright testaceous with two spots of black scales ; venter brown 
aspically, yellowish-brown to ochreous basally ; hairs brown. 
Legs uniformly brown with bronzy reflections, coxae pale ochreous 
and also venter of femora; ungues of the fore legs unequal, the largei 
carved and thick and uni-serrated, the smaller simple ; the mid unequal, 
the larger much carved and simple, the smaller uni-serrated ; hind ver\! 
small equal, simple and carved. 
Wings with the fork-cells short, the first submarginal longer and 
narrow than the second posterior cell, its base nearer the base of the win° 
than that of the second posterior cell, its stem more than two-thirds the 
length of the cell; stem of the second posterior a little longer than the cell : 
supernumerary cross-vein shorter than the mid, the mid longer than the 
posterior cross-vein, the latter about three times its own length distant 
from the mid ; scales on the branches of the fork-cells Taeniorhynchus-like 
but small; on the stems and on the fifth and sixth median-vein scales are 
alone present. Halteres with pale stem; and slightly fuscous knob. 
Length : 4.5 mm. 
Habitat: Singapore (Bir’o, 1902). 
Observations .—Described from a single perfect male. In spite of the 
shorter palpi and the strange prominence on the basal antennal joint 
I place this species in this genus as the peculiar antennal organs are so very 
similar as well as all the aquamose characters. I have been unable to 
draw the antennal organs in detail as I could not break up the type. It 
can easily be distinguished from L. fraudatrix by the smaller size of the 
antennal organs and their different structure. 
Remarks. — The above species is described by Theobald in “A Catalogue 
of the Culicidae in the Hungarian Museum 1905,” and the description is
