Sub-Family AEDEOMYIN/E.-rfe»Wi 
Characters. Head with flat racquet-shaped and upright scales in a 
genera except Deinocerites and Aioretomyia. Thorax and scutellui 
variously clad. Palpi extremely short in both sexes. Metanotum bare. 
Remarks .—A sub-family based on the short palpi in male and femal 
but containing genera of widely different characters. The genus Aede 
is closely allied to culex and the genus Aedeomyia to Finlaya and Orthc 
podomyia. Finlaya was included in this sub-family by Theobald in th 
t lira volume of his “ Monograph,” but he has now placed it in the Culicin; 
as the males have long palpi.
