Genus Wyeomyia. 
there a grey one; first segment entirely black scaled, with short 
golden hairs; venter deep ochraceous, with white and pale 
ochraceous scales. 
Legs very long, ochraceous, covered with deep brown scales, 
the tibiae and tarsi deep brown; coxae and trochanters pale 
ochraceous, both with white scales; ungues small, equal and 
simple. 
Wings bright testaceous at the base; veins with small deep 
brown median and narrow lateral brown scales; first sub¬ 
marginal cell a little longer and decidedly narrower than the 
second posterior cell, its stem nearly as long as the cell, its base 
level or slightly nearer the apex of the wing than the base of 
the second posterior cell; second posterior cell with its stem also 
nearly as long as the cell; supernumerary and mid cross-veins 
meeting; posterior cross-vein about one and a half times its 
own length distant from the mid cross-vein; fringe pale brown, 
border-scales dark. 
Halteres with bright ochraceous stem and knobs, the latter 
darkened with fuscous scales. 
Length .—3 mm. (body); (fore legs 6*5 mm.; hind 8 mm.) 
Habitat. —Taipang, Perak, Straits Settlements (Wray) (22. 11. 
and 21. 12. 99). 
Observations .—Described from a single J • Although the 
metanotum is destroyed by the pin, so that I cannot see the 
chaetae characteristic of the genus Wyeomyia , I feel sure from 
the general appearance of the insect that it comes in this genus 
of the section Aedeomyina, the general long-legged spidery 
appearance being very marked. It can be told from others 
I have placed in the genus by the pure white basal ventral 
surface of the abdomen and the remaining ochraceous part. 
Moreover, the clypeus is very brilliant ferruginous, such as 
we see in no other member of the genus.
