Genus BIRÓNELLA nov. gen. 
Head with numerous upright forked scales of two kinds (Fig. 3 a. 
and h) and with small thin out-standing irregular scales (c) ; palpi about 
two-thirds the length of the proboscis in the cf, swelling gradually to 
the apex; apparently 2-jointed (probably 3-jointed) last segment large 
and swollen ; proboscis with very acuminate labellæ ; antennæ of c? plu¬ 
mose. Mesothorax with numerous short curved hairs over its surface ; 
scutellum as in Anopheles (i. e. simple not trilobed). Abdomen nude, 
but hairy. Wings in the male with the first sub-marginal cell very small, 
the second posterior large, stem of the former at least four times as long 
as the small cell ; the marginal crossvein very long, the supernumerary 
very small, the mid more than twice the length of the supernumerary ; 
the third long vein, also the stem of the second posterior cell and the 
upper branch of the fifth vein bent in gentle waves ; the two pseudo¬ 
veins very prominent. 
This genus apparently comes in the Anophelina judging from the 
non-scaly thorax and abdomen and the simple scutellum. I have been un 
able to detect a $ in the collection. The most marked feature of the 
genus is the venation. I know of no Culicine in which the cells are so 
unequal and irregular in shape and size. The small first submarginal 
cell resembles Megarrhinus and Toxorhynchites and to some extent 
Uranotaenia. 
1. Bironella gracilis n. sp. 
(Plates II and III.) 
Thorax brown with short dull golden hairs ; pleuræ and scutellum 
paler ; palpi and proboscis brown. Abdomen black, narrow, expanding 
apically, with brown hairs, which become golden brown on the large geni¬ 
talia. Legs long, brown, pale yellowish-brown at the base and below the 
femora. Wings with brown-scaled veins, the membrane tinged with brown 
along the costa. 
c ?. Head brown with numerous yellowish and black upright fork- 
scales (Fig. 3 a and h), the latter very thin with bifid apex, the former
