. Genus

conical point. Wing scales broad. Genus 
(e.) Wing scales very broad and asvmmetrical 
Tufts of erect scales forming paddle-like expansions on 
tibia and metatarsus of some of the legs. Genus

scales on the legs and with shorter palpi in the female

and chaetae . Genus

with scales only.

on , Head clothed with large spatulate scales thorax with spindle-shaped 
and spatulate scales ; scutellum with spatulate scales. Proboscis about as 
long as the abdomen. Wing scales more or less linear. Metanotum with 
chaetae only. 
Remarks .—Two species of this genus occur in Malaya but unfortunately 
o males have been found. The short proboscis and narrow lateral wing 
scales readily distinguish it from the next two genera. Most of the scales 
on these mosquitoes exhibit metallic colours specially noticeable in the living 
specimen. 6
