forked scales, some inserted as far forward as the orbital margins near the 
\ ertex ; orbital bristles brown, vertical dark brown. Basal joint of antenna 
ochre-yellow with dark shading on the inner side and some small spindle- 
shaped scales, remaining joints dark brown with dark brown verticils. 
Clypeiis dark brown, heart-shaped. Palpi small, about one-ninth the length 
of the proboscis which is rather longer than the abdomen ; both palpi and 
proboscis with dark brown scaling. p ” 
Thorax.—Px othoracic lobes brown with dull white flat scales. Meso- 
n< ? !p ht J? rown ; the whole of the margin in front of the wing is edged 
with dull white or grey scales, which near the wings are flat, elongated, 
clavate scales but become lanceolate as they approach the anterior end of 
the mesonotum and m the centre is a line of narrow curved scales and on 
either side of this a bare line, the rest of the mesonotum being clad with 
narrow-curved scales, which under a hand lens are dark bronze-brown, 
but under higher powers in a good light they appear paler and more olive- 
brown ; the bristles on the mesonotum are dark brown and very long the 
dorso-central rows being well-marked. The scutellar scales are small flat 
scales with rounded ends and of an olive-brown colour ; central bristles four in 
number. Pleura light yellowish-brown with dark brown patches and 
crossed about its centre by a horizontal line of dull white spindle-shaped 
sca.es. Wings clad with brown scales, a single row of small spatulate 
median scales on all veins after the first, and lateral scales present on the 
second vein and its branches, the whole of the third, and the branches of the 
ourththe scales are broad with obliquely truncated ends, except on the third 
vein where they are more elliptical, the fork cells are of about equal length, the 
second being rather broader than the first, and having its base nearer the wing 
base posterior cross vein longer than median, from which it is distant by 
less than its own length. Coxa; pale yellowish-brown, femora pale beneath, 
dark brown above, remainder of all legs dark brown scaled. Ungues equal 
and simple on all the legs. & 4 
Abdomen. -Dark brown above, pale dirty-white beneath. Segments 
fringed with pale golden hairs. No banding or spotting. 
Occurrence. The specimens from which this description is drawn were 
taken in jungle at “ The Gap ” Selangor. They were not taken feeding 
though I expect they do bite. 8 
Remarks v—I have a male mosquito which in many respects resembles 
this species but it lacks the grey line of flat scales round the margin of the 
mesonotum and*I am not sure whether it is the male of this or not, and 
have refrained from so describing it until I obtain more material. This 
mosquito is the largest Uranotaenia I have found and is easily distinguished 
uy its size alone. 
Uranot^nia Lutescens. n. sp.

scales and bristles. Head, proboscis and legs with purple-bronze scales. 
Abdomen dark brown with narrow yellowish-brown basal bands. 
Female Head. Clad with flat racquet-shaped scales which vary con-
