Genus Aedeomyia. 
This genus is closely related to Aedes, but differs from it in 
the curious scale formation on the head, wings, &c. It occurs 
in South America, India, Malay Peninsula and Australasia. 
Ae. squammipenna was placed in the genus Aedes by Arribalzaga, 
but it differs from the typical Aedes in scale structure, and thus 
the characters given by him for Aedes, except the equal-sized

palpi of $ and 5 > cannot be accepted, his characters being 
based on this species. Skuse describes one from Sydney (Aedes 
venustipes), and notes the peculiarity of the scales, and then 
suggests their being of generic importance, in which I concur. 
As far as the $ ’s go they resemble in scale structure Panoplites 
titillcins, but the $’s, as seen in Ae. squammipenna, are of Aedes 
type, having short palpi, but similar scales on the wing to the 9 •
