dark brown with a patch of black spatulate scales on each lobe and four 
black bristles to the central lobe. Pleura creamy with a bright silvery sheen 
almost bare except for a few flat silvery scales. Coxae bright silvery. 
Legs entirely clad with dark blackish-brown scales. Wings with dark 
scaled costa and silvery fringes, fork cells and scales of the usual type. 
Abdomen .—Covered with blackish-brown scales without bands or 
spots. 
Male .—Somewhat lighter in colour but in every other respect closely 
resembling the female. The head scaling is identical the vertical bristles 
are as in the female golden-brown. Antennae markedly plumose the 
plumes being silky-brown and the joints pale muddy-brown. Pleura legs 
and abdomen as in the female. 
Occurrence .—Described from one male taken by myself at “The Gap” 
and one female sent me by Dr. Finlayson of Singapore which he bred from 
a larva found in a pitcher plant. 
Remarks .—A very distinct species the silvery pleura and dark 
mesonotum give it a very characteristic appearance. Evidently somewhat 
resembles U. Annulata Vol. III. “ Monograph of Culicidae,” Theobald. It 
differs in the dark scaled head and unbanded abdomen and hind legs. 
Easily told from all the other Malayan species I am acquainted with. 
Uranot/enia Unilineata. n. sp. 
Thorax reddish-brown. A silvery-blue line crosses the pleura on 
either side extends on to the prothoracic lobes and is in line with a bluish- 
white band on either side of the middle line on the head. Wings brown 
scaled. Abdomen and legs dark brown. The last two and apex of second 
tarsal joints on the hind legs creamy. 
Female Head .—Dark brown in the centre paler at the sides and 
beneath ; on the vertex projecting forwards is a patch of bluish-white spindle- 
shaped scales, behind these there are scales of the same colour but 
racquet-shaped which diverge as two broad bands one along either orbital 
margin and then pass backwards and form one line with the scales on 
prothoracic lobes and pleura. These lines form a V on the head 
with the apex between the eyes, and the area between these lines and 
outside them clad with dark brown scales; behind on the occiput 
are a few dark brown upright forked scales. There are no vertical bristles 
and apparently only two orbital. Basal joint of antenna yellowish-brown 
and nude, second joint brown and hairy but without scales, remaining joints 
brown; verticillate hairs dark brown. Clypeus brown, without scales, 
heart-shaped. Palpi apparently two-jointed but little longer than the 
clypeus to which they are closely applied being bent inwards to the middle 
line, clad with dark brown scales and numerous bristles. Proboscis 
enlarged at the apex and clad with dark brown scales. 
Thorax .—Prothoracic lobes brown, with a line of bluish-white flat 
scales crossing each lobe obliquely from behind upwards and forwards and 
making one line with the bands on the head and pleura. Mesonotum bright 
reddish-brown sparely clad with dark brown narrow scales scarcely curved 
which are arranged in a line in the centre with a bare space in either side
