No representative of this genus has as yet been found in Malaya.

“ Head densely clad with numerous racquet-shaped scales in imbricate 
ws at the sides but loosely scattered above, and broad upright scales 
)Ove and laterally. Antennae moniliform and scaled on the two first 
ints.” 
“ Thorax .—With broad spindle-shaped scales ; scutellum with flat broad 
ales. Abdomen densely scaled with flat scales. Legs densely scaled 
pecially at the apices of the femora and bases of the tibiae ; ungues of female 
[ual and simple of fair size on the hind legs ; of the males unequal on the 
re and mid legs larger ones toothed. Wings densely scaled with broad 
■ymmetrical scales somewhat similar to those in the genus Mansonia and 
so with elongated lateral ones ; border scales large fringe scales at the 
ise of the wing very long ; fork cells unequal base of the second posterior 
:11 nearer the base of the wing, etc.’’ 
“ This genus is closely related to Aedes but differs from it in the 
aling of head and wing. It occurs in South America, India, Malay 
eninsula and Australia.” The above is quoted from Theobald. There 
:ems to have been some error (possibly due to having only denuded spe- 
mens to describe from) as to the head scaling. There are numerous 
nail broad racquet-shaped scales together with narrow spatulate scales in 
:e centre and at the sides of the head. The scales on the thorax are of 
tree kinds spindle-shaped scales of medium breadth forming a central 
eamy-yellow line numerous small very broad scales on the humeral 
)rtions in front and large spatulate scales over the wing roots. On the 
:ntral lobe of the scutellum in front of the creamy-yellow racquet-shaped 
ales are a few very large dark brown ob-conical scales." 
I cannot agree with Mr. Theobald that this genus is closely related 
[> £edes. Even the male palpi, the only point of agreement, are very 
fferent from those in Aedes. They are much longer in relation to the
