of which are slightly asymmetrical. These broad clavate scales are also 
present on the whole of the third vein, and the branches of the fourth and 
extreme apex of branches of the fifth vein ; fork cells short of about equal 
length ; stem of first fork cell about twice as long as the cell; base of second 
fork cell nearer wing base; supernumerary cross vein set very obliquely, 
posterior cross vein shorter than the median about its own length from the 
median running obliquely from in front backwards and inwards. Coxae 
and base of femora creamy; hind femora almost entirely creamy scaled ; 
rest of hind leg and all the mid and fore legs clad with dark brown scales 
with purple reflections. Two rows of long golden spines on hind tibia. 
Ungues equal and simple on all the legs. 
Abdomen .—Dorsally clad with metallic-purple scales with narrow basal 
bands of ochraceous scales and long ochraceous hairs on the edge of 
i each segment. 
Observation .—Described from one female taken in the open in Kuala 
Lumpur. 
Remarks .—As the male is unknown it would be folly to classify this 
mosquito. The very long second joint of antennae makes one think of 
Deinocerites, but the wing scales are so different that it is easily distinguished 
from members of that genus. It comes very near the genus Mimomyia.
