76. Culex atripes. Skuse. 
(Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales, p. 1750.) 
“ Thorax (when denuded) glistening black, with light bronze scales ; 
prothoracic lobes, pleurae and an oblong spot before the origin of the 
wings silvery. Abdomen violet-black; each segment with a white lateral 
patch; venter densely silver scaled. Legs violet-black, coxae silver 
scaled, femora dusted on their basal half with pale scales, which have a 
bronzy reflection in certain lights; hind metatarsi nearly one-seventh 
longer than the hind tibiae; first sub-marginal cell much longer and 
scarcely narrower than the second posterior cell; posterior cross-vein 
about twice its length distant from the mid cross-vein. Head densely 
violet-black scaled; eyes bordered with a narrow silvery line.” 
Length. —3*81 mm. 
Habitat .—Hoknbush (Masters); Sutherland and Knapsack 
Gully, New South Wales (Skuse). 
Observations .—A small species, very like the species here 
described as Uranotaenia pygmaea, but clearly differs in the 
venation. Skuse, with his usual thoroughness, would have 
mentioned the enormously developed mid femora seen in the 
Uranotaenia. 
77. Culex cinereus. n. sp. 
(Fig. Ill, PI. XXVIII.) 
Thorax covered with dense grey scales. Abdomen dusky- 
black, the segments with lateral white patches, "which are more 
or less connected to form a white lateral line. Legs dark brown, 
pale beneath, femora white, coxae pure white. 
9 • Head covered with grey scales, slightly darker behind ; 
eyes black, but showing some coppery hues above, bordered with 
a thin pure-white line; palpi dark brown, except the extreme 
tip, which is white; proboscis dark brown ; antennae brown, as 
long as the proboscis. 
Thorax covered with dense grey scales, with some long, 
black, backwardly projecting bristles, especially at the sides 
just behind the neck and on the edge of the scutellum, where 
there are dark reddish-brown bristles, apparently eight in the 
middle lobe and three on either side ; metanotum dusky brown ; 
when viewed in certain directions three pale reddish-brown lines 
will be seen on the dorsum; pleurae grey, with distinct patches
