sixth long veins very distinct. Ungues of fore and mid legs unequal, the

Habitat: New Guinea, Friedrich -Wilhelmshafen (Bíró, 1900) and 
Stephansort, Astrolabe-Bay (Bíró, 1900). 
Observations : Described from a large series of c? ’s and several 5 ’s. 
The generic characters are too well marked for this species to be confused 
with any other Culicid. The false vein is very prominent in all the spe¬ 
cimens. 
An allied species is described here which differs from fraudatrix . in 
having the antennal organs of different form.
