Genus NEOMYZOMYIA. Nov. Gen. 
Head with numerous upright forked scales and a dense tuft 
of scales at the posterior angles of the head ; palpi not as long as 
the proboscis in 9 5 not as densely scaled as in Myzorhynchus, but 
the scales scanty and outstanding. A tuft of long twisted hairs 
between the eyes. 
Prothoracic lobes with a dense tuft of long outstanding scales 
and some narrow curved scales in front of the mesonotum, rest of 
scutellum and abdomen with curved hair-like scales. 
Wings with the fourth long vein very near base of the third 
and the apex of the sixth bending almost at right angles to the 
costa. Fore ungues of male very unequal; mid small, slightly 
unequal, simple. 
Allied to Myzomyia and Pyretophorus, but at once told by the 
marked area of scales at back of head and on the prothoracic 
lobes and by the venation. 
I have formed this genus for elegans, James—Theobald. Until 
recently I could only be guided by James’ description which is 
inadequate. The species is re^jescribed here.
