scales and large lateral scales on the whole of the third branches c 
the fourth and apex of upper branch of fifth. At the base of third vei 
the scales are lanceolate getting broader as they approach the apex of th 
vein those at the very apex being as broad as long and very blunt ended 
The sixth vein is very sharply curved towards the end ; fork cells short, firs 
shorter but scarcely narrower than second closely applied to first long vein 
posterior cross vein very long, longer than median from which it is distan 
less than its own length. Coxae pale yellowish; fore coxae with flat whit 
scales. P emora scaled dark brown except beneath towards the base and 
very narrow ring of pale scales at their apices; tibiae metatarsi and tars 
clad with scales which are dark brown or dark purple-brown or copper)- 
bronze according as the direction of the light varies. Ungues equal an 
simple. 
Abdomen .—Clad with dark brown scales with purple reflections ant 
basal bands of dirty white or in some lights of a tawny colour. 
Male. The male has short palpi and differs in the following point 
from the female. Antennae plumose with two last joints elongated ; plume 
a light silky-brown with a purple tinge in some lights. Wing rather mor 
lightly clad on the costa. I he ungues of the mid leg are uneven the large 
unguis being much curved. This is a most characteristic feature of thi 
genus so far I have not seen any Malayan mosquito outside the members c, 
this genus in which this is present. The abdominal bands are much broade 
than in the female and tend to be broader laterally than in the middle. Th- 
band on the two last segments is narrow. 
Occurrence .—All the specimens I have were bred from larvae taken fron 
the marshy edges of a jungle stream in Kuala Lumpur. I have neve 
taken the adult fly. 
Remarks .—This is certainly the largest of the Malayan member oJ 
Uranotaenia next to Maxima. The absence of flat scales on the mesonotun 
and the regular banding of the abdomen serve to distinguish it from all th-i 
other species. 
Uranotaenia Bi-maculata. n.sp. 
Head entirely covered large broad flat bluish-grey scales with a fev 
upright scales behind, mesonotum brown in front, purple-brown behind 
clad with narrow-curved tawny and grey scales. On either side, just abov» 
the insertion of the wing, is a large spot covered with black narrow-curvec 
scales and edged with pale grey. Pleurae pale ochraceous. Legs anc 
abdomen dark brown. 
Female Head .—Under a hand lens the scales along the orbital margir 
and at the sides of the head are pale grey surrounding dark slate-grej 
scales but under a 2/3 this contrast is not noticeable the scales over the whok 
head appearing light blue-grey. The upright scales behind are very few 
confined to the nape, and apparently ochraceous though they may take 
this tinge from the front of the thorax or neck, vertical and orbital bristles 
dark brown. Basal joint of antenna dark brown and naked, remaining 
joints brown with dark brown verticillate hairs. Clypeus yellowish-brown 
very pointed. Palpi very short but longer than in many members of this 
genus, clad with dark brown scales. Proboscis about as long as the 
abdomen swollen at the end and clad with dark brown scales.
