Grenus TBICHOPBONOMYIA nov. gen. 
(Plates II and III.) 
Head clothed with narrow-curved, upright forked and flat lateral 
scales. Proboscis (Fig. 10a.) with dense tuft of hairs towards the middle 
and shorter hairs on apical portion. Antennæ plumose. Thorax with nar¬ 
row-curved scales on mesothorax and with a patch of outstanding scales 
on each side before the wings, somewhat like the cephalic forked sca¬ 
les ; prothoracic scales flat ; scutellar scales narrow-curved. Wings with 
Taeniorhynchus-like scales on the branches of the fork-cells, some small 
Mansonia-like ones on the base of the first long-vein and on the sub¬ 
costal vein. 
This genus is founded on the hairy proboscis ; characteristic wing 
scales separating it from Culex and also the peculiar arrangement of 
scales in front of the wings on the mesothorax. The palpi are damaged.

cal joints with dense pale yellowish hairs all over them. 
Thorax brown with narrow-curved pale golden scales in front and pale 
creamy white ones at the sides forming more or less lateral pale patches, 
in front of the wings at the sides a patch of out-standing yellow upright 
scales (Fig. 10 b.) very similar to the forked scales of the head, also nu¬ 
merous black and brown bristles, rather short thick and curved ; protho¬ 
racic lobes with small pale flat scales and yellow hairs ; scutellum brown
