The main costal spot is broken on the first vein as 
in M. ludlowii. Philippine Islands. 
3. M. funesta*— Costa : six white spots. Basal 
spots with pale interruption. Wing fringe : pale 
spots at ends of all the veins, except sixth. Palpi : 
three bands, the basal one further from the middle one 
than the apical. A variable species : third long vein 
may be dark. Resembles listoni and rhodesiensis 
(Figs. 59 and 60). 
4. M. lutzi *—Characterised by the linear 
ornamentation on the thorax. Legs with prominent 
pale apical bands and a broad pale median band to 
fore and mid metatarsi (first tarsus). Wings, three 
distinct pale spots ; two smaller ones, 3 to 3*5 mm. 
Rio de Janeiro. 
5. M. t rossi. —Probably = A. vagus (Donitz). 
Sumatra. Palpi, somewhat like those of M. ludlowi , 
but easily distinguished ; the apical white band is 
broader ; the second band is much nearer the base 
than in M. ludlowii , so that the black area between is 
longer. Wings, four spots, and some basal spots. The 
second large spot has the characteristic T shape , but 
is very variable. Tarsi : slight pale apical and basal 
bands to some of tarsi. India, Malaysia. 
6. M. longipalpis. —Palpi long, thin ; three 
narrow white rings ; wing costa, black, four almost 
equal yellow spots ; wings mostly brown scaled ; 
hind legs only, banded ; narrow apical and basal yellow 
bands. Length, three mm. Nyassaland. 
/ 3 / 3 / 3 . Palpi with two white bands. 
7. M. aconita .— aconita = unspeckled, because 
at the commencement of the third long vein the usual 
dark spot is absent. Palpi, two bands. Costa, four 
* Transmits malaria. 
t Not a Myzomyia. Theobald is about to make a new genus for it.
