Female Head.— Clad with very dark brown racquet-shaped scales with 
rrple reflections set in imbricate rows, and at the sides with a few pale 
Aden-brown scales, and round the margin of the occipital foramen there is 
ie row of black upright forked scales rather difficult to see; orbital and 
^rtical bristles almost black. Basal joint of antenna dark brown without 
:ales, remaining joints dark umber-browm with numerous silky-white 
airs and dark brown verticils. Clypeus dark brown and nude. Palpi 
sry short, clad with dark browm scales similar to those on the proboscis, 
he proboscis is of great length as long as the body though in the dried 
jecimen owing to the shrinking of the body it may appear longer. 
Thorax. _Prothoracic lobes dark brown with dark browm bristles only. 
lesonotum dark browm with brown narrow-curved scales and dark browm 
ristles. Scutellum yellow T ish-brown with small spatulate scales on each 
[ >be and bare spaces between ; bristles dark brown, four to the central lobe, 
'leurae brown with a few dull wffiite flat scales. ings brown with brown 
-ales • median small narrow spatulate scales, lateral short linear scales; 
jrk cells about equal in length and breadth; stem of first about as long as 
ie cell, base of first nearer wing apex than base of the second ; posterior 
ross vein nearly twice its length from mid. Coxae pallid clad with a few 
at dull-white scales. Legs entirely clad with dark brown scales with 
urple reflections except the under sides of the femora. Abdomen clad 
nth dark browm scales above; ungues equal and simple. 
Male!— Antennae plumose, joints banded white and browm last two 
Dints as long as the whole of the antenna. Proboscis of great length 
lightly swollen at the tip. Fore and mid ungues simple but they are 
pparently unequal though it is difficult to make sure of this. The basal 
•ortion of the external genitalia is of extraordinary length and being curved 
he pair look just like calipers at the end of the abdomen, the claspers are 
dno-ed to the end and these basal pieces and other chitmous processes 
iroject from the inner and ventral faces but the parts are so distorted wfith 
trying that it is impossible to give an accurate description of the structure. 
Occurrence. —The series w T ere bred from lar\ae found in stagnant water 
.t Kuala Klang. Time of capture January. 
Remarks. —This is a very distinct species the long proboscis and the 
Iburious male genitalia at once distinguish it. The wfing scales of this 
nosquito are certainly unlike those given as typical of members of this 
;enus but without forming a new genus there is no other place for it. 
Genus io.— Hodgesia. — Theobald. 
Head clothed with small flat scales rather rounded apically and loosely 
ipplied to the surface; palpi very small, apparently one-jointed, co\ered 
vith scales ; antenna with large globular basal joint, thirteen-jomted, long 
gristles at the nodes, short ones at the internodes; proboscis not quite as 
ono- as the whole body; clypeus normal. Thorax with prothoracic lobes 
:overed with flat scales; mesonotum with large long narrow-curved scales; 
jcutellum with small flat scales similar to the head; abdomen w ith flat 
i scales arranged vertically so as to form slightly projecting tufts. Legs 
ong, especially the hind pair ; apices of the femora and tibiae rather dilated ;
