Appendix. 
Several specimens have been received. They differ from all 
other Culicidae in the peculiar structure of the antennae and 
most nearly approach the genus Deinocerites. The female only 
has been taken. 
BrACHIOMYIA MAGNA. n. Sp. 
Brown ; thorax rather shiny; abdomen unbanded, paler 
beneath ; legs rather long and thick, unbanded ; antennae con¬ 
siderably longer than the body. 
9 . Head brown with narrow, grey, curved scales, all point¬ 
ing forwards, with numerous upright, ochraceous, forked scales, 
rather broad and crenulated at the summit; two black bristles 
projecting between the eyes and several overhanging them; 
eyes deep purplish black ; clypeus fawn-coloured, nude ; proboscis 
brown, moderately long, prominently curved downwards; 
antennae very long and filiform, longer than the whole body, 
brown, basal joint bright ochraceous, second to fifth joints 
covered with small brown scales, especially thick towards their 
base, the second joint long, the following gradually becoming 
shorter towards the apex. Palpi short, 4-jointed, covered with 
brown scales, the basal joints the smallest, a few black hairs also 
on the joints. 
Thorax shiny brown, with sparse, narrow, curved, small, 
greyish-brown scales and short deep-brown bristles; scutellum 
chestnut-brown with narrow, curved, greyish-brown scales; meta 
notum nude, deep brown, except at the base, where it is chestnut- 
brown ; pleurae pale ochraceous, with pale brown mottling and 
black bristles. 
Abdomen shiny steely-grey, covered with dull brown scales, 
which show violet reflections; the last two apical segments have 
numerous scattered ochraceous scales as well; venter paler, 
covered with dull ochraceous scales. 
Wings with the veins clothed with rather short and 
moderately thick brown scales, with convex extremities and also 
with some longer and thinner lateral ones, but not nearly so thin 
as in Culex ; first submarginal cell a little longer and narrower 
than the second posterior cell, their bases about level, stem of 
the first submarginal nearly half the length of the cell, that of 
the second posterior cell two-thirds the length of the cell; 
posterior cross-vein rather more than its own length distant 
from the mid cross-vein ; the sub-costal reaches the border of the 
wing level with the base of the first sub-marginal cell; halteres 
with pale ochraceous stem and fuscous knob. 
Legs with the coxae and trochanters pale ochraceous; fore 
and mid femora rather thick, posterior femora thinner, brown 
above, pale ochraceous beneath, a row of bristles on each side, 
fore, mid, and hind tibiae brown with a few bristles, metatarsi
