Female Head. —Black, clad with golden narrow-curved scales on vertex * 
and occiput and low down laterally a small patch of golden and spatulate 
, scales while numerous deep brown upright scales are inserted on the nape 
and extend far out on either side. Basal joints of antennae dark yellowish- 
brown, second joint with its basal half yellowish-brown with deep brown 
spatulate scales its apical half brown, remaining joints brown with pale 
rings at the insertions of the dark brown verticils. Palpi with deep golden 
scates on the ultimate joints and deep brown scales elsewhere. Proboscis 
\ clad with deep brown scales with a narrow golden band in the centre. 
Thorax .—Prothoracic lobes deep brown with bristles only. Thorax 
black to deep brown clad with pale golden narrow-curved scales with a 
few silvery ones intermixed and a patch of silvery scales on either shoulder. 
Scutellum dark brown with pale golden scales. Pleurae deep brown. Yv ings 
clad for the most part with scales of the generic type. There are fewer 
i golden scales than in Uniformis. Temora clad with deep brown scales 
except for three or four golden rings on each femur. Tibia deep brown 
, with golden spots. Metatarsi of each leg brown scaled except for a basal 
and central creamy-yellow band; first tw r o tarsal joints in fore and mid 
: legs and all in the hind leg brown scaled with basal creamy-yellow bands. 
Abdomen .—Clad with deep brown scales without bands or spots. 
Occurrence .—Taken in a bungalow Kuala Lumpur and elsewhere on 
rivers. 
Remarks .—Resembles Uniformis but differs in the head scaling, the 
amount of gold scaling on the proboscis, the absence of definite silvery- 
green bands on mesonotum, the shape of the wing scales those on the wing 
of Uniformis being much more acuminate, and the amount of gold scaling 
on the thighs and legs. The lack of abdominal lateral spots is also a 
distinctive point. It is a rare species. 
Genus 34.— Orthopodomyia — Theobald. 
Upper part of head with scattered narrow-curved scales which become 
broader on the vertex, and laterally a patch of spatulate scales on either 
side, and a dense covering of broad topped upright scales over the whole 
head. Palpi in the female rather more than half the length of the proboscis, 
five-jointed the last joint small and nipple-like, in the male the palpi are 
three-fourths the length of the proboscis, four-jointed,, the second joint 
with a nodal thickening in its middle which might be.mistaken for a joint. 
Proboscis long in both sexes enlarged at the tip which is very blunt and 
has a ring of erect scales surrounding the labellae. Mesonotum with long 
narrow and broad-curved scales; scutellum with long hair-like scales. 
1 Wings with very large lateral scales, piriform, some exhibiting a tendency 
to asymmetry like Mansonia and Aedeomyia. 
Remarks .—Founded on one specimen sent from the Institute to Mr. 
Theobald. This genus I have placed at the end of the Culicma a.s if it 
were not that the palpi are rather long it certainly ought to come m the 
sub-family Aideomyina for its affinities with Aedeomyia and Fmlaya are 
very close. The mid legs have a tuft of erect scales at the apex of the 
femora exactly like those in Aedeomyia but the head and mesonotal sea ing
