Hinterland, Corsica and India. 
Genus SKUSEA Theob. 
Monogr. Culicid. III. p. 291. (1903). 
This genns comes near Stegomyia , not in the Aedinæ as I at first 
thought. The £ palpi are somewhat narrower as a rule than those figured 
in my monograph (Fig. 157a). There is also a very thin row of narrow- 
curved scales around the eyes, not always easy to detect. So far the 
genus has been recorded from Queensland, East Indes and Malaya.
