beyond the junction of subcosta with costa, then the first long vein is black 
scaled nearly to its end; second long vein is brown scaled at the base and 
opposite the brown scales on costa and subcosta; it thus forms with the 
previous veins two well-marked costal spots the first of these is longer than 
the second and begins about the junction of basal and median thirds. 
1 here is a line of dark brown scales on the third vein near its base and 
another on the stem of the fifth and one on its upper branch and a patch of 
black scales on the sixth vein ; all the rest of the wing is scaled with bluish- 
u hlte sca ^ es 'tt'hen seen by reflected but viewed by transmitted light the scales 
are almost transparent. 1'he median scales are for the most part broad 
spatulate scales with slightly oblique ends the laterals are the large spindle- 
shaped^ scaies characteristic of this genus and only present on the branches 
of the tork cells and the third long vein. The dark brown scales are all 
median. Coxae light brown with a silvery sheen when dry clad with a few 
onstles but without scales; femora pale scaled beneath, clad with dark 
brown scales above and laterally (these scales are purple in some lights) 
lore and mid tibae and metatarsi and tarsi dark brown scaled ; hind tibiae 
and metatarsi also clad with dark brown scales but all the tarsal joints 
axe a broad creamy band at their base the last being all creamy-scaled 
except for a patch of purple-brown scales above at the tip. These creamy 
scales become very dingy in the dried specimen but are always distinct. 
This mosquito is really a very beautiful one when alive but the scales lose 
lustre after death. Ungues equal and simple. 
Abdomen. Dorsally clad with dark purple-brown scales. Some of the 
basal segments shew apical white banding which though distinct in the 
fresh specimen becomes far less so in the dried. The venter is pale scaled. 
Male. Head scaled as the female. Antennae plumose, basal joint 
dark brown , a white band at the apices of all the other joints but the last. 
erticihate hairs purple-brown. Proboscis very long; the apical fourth is 
enlarged and generally bent backwards (the whole proboscis being carried 
at a right angle to the body) and clad with long hairs on the upper surface. 
The scaies on the proboscis are dark brown with purple reflections as in 
the female. In all other respects the male resembles the female except 
that the mid ungues as in most members of this genus are unequal, one of 
the claws being much larger than the other and much curved. 
Occuyyc nee. Described from a series caught near water in open marsh 
land. 
URANOTiENIA Bimaculiala. n. sp. 
Thorax brown clad with dark scales and bristles and shewing a bluish- 
white line in front of the wings and another crossing the pleura about mid 
way. Head with two bands of bluish scales diverging from the vertex with 
dark scales between. Wings with a long dark scaled area on the costa 
followed b\ a short white spot and then a dark spot. First and second 
hind tarsal joints basally banded with creamy scales last two joints 
completely clad with creamy scales. 
Female Head. A tuft of long blue scales on the vertex two lines of 
bluish-white racquet-shaped scales passing backwards to the occipital 
foramen diverging as they go; space between and on the outer side of each
