Genus Taeniorhynclms. 
Observations. —I have not seen Wiedemann’s type of O. fulvus 
from Brazil, but it is a very distinct species judging from his 
description, the wings being brownish-black at the apices, the 
dark-tipped yellow proboscis, palpi, femora, and tibiae being very 
characteristic of this yellow species, which, however, when 
rubbed, shows a dark ground colour. I have examined Walker’s 
type of Culex flavicosta in the Museum collection and find it is 
only this species of Wiedemann’s, and I have also seen another 
specimen from Bigot’s collection, named by him G. bicolor, n. sp. 
Walker’s species, therefore, must sink. I have described 
Walker’s specimen as fully as possible here and compared it 
with Bigot’s.
