I under a hand lens are a dark bronze under a 2/3 they appear very 
much the colour of their background only there is a metallic glint on them, 
in front of the wing on either side is a line of bluish-white erect lanceolate 
scales which are very long near the wing but get much smaller towards the 
front of the line. The mesonotal bristles are as usual very long they are 
dark brown in colour. Scutellum muddy-brown darker in the centre of the 
middle lobe, clad with racquet-shaped dark brown scales which in some 
lights are dark blue, bristles dark brown; four on the central lobe. Pleura 
* dark brown crossed about the centre by a line of flat scales pearly-white m 
colour. Wing clad with dark brown scales the median small and spatulate 
the lateral large and either lanceolate or spindle-shaped, fork cells minute 
first narrower and shorter than second set close to first long vein, posterior 
j cross vein about its own length from median. Coxae brown with flat pearly 
scales and a row of dark hairs; femora scaled above with dark brown scales, 
below and laterally with silvery scales having a slight brownish tinge,. mid 
femora enlarged, tibiae with dark brown scales with purple reflections; 
metatarsi and tarsi of fore and mid legs with scales which get paler the 
nearer they get to the end of the foot so that the last tarsal joints are in 
some lights almost white, last three tarsal joints of the hind legs pure 
creamy-white. The ungues are equal and simple but the fore ungues 
though small have a swollen appearance at their base quite different from 
the mid and hind. 
Abdomen .—Thickly clad with flat scales; on the first segment these 
are racquet-shaped and bluish-white, on the three following segments 
bluish-white scales cover the whole dorsum except just at the sides which 
are scaled with dark blackish-brown scales, remaining segments dorsally 
clad with blackish-brown scales. The venter has a pale basal band, to all 
i the segments. The markings on the abdomen are most characteristic. 
Male .—In the male the antennae are plumose the plumes being of a rather 
' light purplish-brown with pale tips. The proboscis is much more markedly 
* enlarged at the apex than in the female the enlargement seeming to be. due 
to a thickening of the ventral surface. The mid tarsus is very characteristic, 
on the last two joints the scales are long and stand out giving a thickened 
shaggy appearance to the foot, the ungues are unequal the . larger being 
much curved as is usual in members of this genus. The genitalia are too 
much retracted for their structure to be made out. 
Occurrence .—Described from a series bred from larvae taken in a pool in 
a patch of jungle off the Gombak Road five miles from Kuala Lumpur. 
I have taken one adult resting on the surface of the same pool. 
I Remarks .—I have not met with any other member of the genus with 
which this mosquito could be confused. The pure white hind tarsus and 
the abdominal marking are the most distinctive features. 
Uranot;enia Cancer, n. sp. 
Bluish-white scales on the vertex and along the orbital margins, dark 
purple scales behind. Bronzy narrow-curved scales coyer the mesonotum 
1 except for a line of bluish-white scales in front of the wings. A second line 
of similar scales is present on the pleura of each side. Abdomen with dark 
purple-brown scales above, large lateral white spots and apical white bands
