Genus Taxor hynchites .. 
of mid-legs mostly golden yellow, darker near the base, apd a 
band of dark scales at the apex; tibiae of hind legs dark blue, 
with green iridescence; metatarsi of fore legs nearly white, 
except a small basal spot of dark blue on the under surface; of 
mid leg nearly white, except a rather dark spot on the dorsal 
surface; of hind legs dark blue, except a light basal band; first 
tarsal of fore leg is white, except an apical dark band, all the 
remaining joints dark; first tarsal on mid leg and all the 
following are light yellow to white, except the last, which has a 
brown tip ; first tarsal of hind legs is light, with a tiny dark 
apex, all the rest of the joints dark. Ungues simple and equal. 
In some lights there is a very narrow apical band of violet on all 
the femora, and on the mid and hind tibiae reddish. 
Wing clear reddish-brown, sparsely scaled with brown, 
broadly truncate scales; first submarginal cell very short, very 
little more than half the length of the second posterior, and 
much narrower ; mid and posterior cross-veins meet, and are 
about the same length; supernumerary cross-vein about half the 
length of mid, and three times its own length exterior to mid. 
Hal teres orange-brown. 
There is a strong fold near fifth long vein, so that it makes a 
curvature in the margin of the wing. 
Length .—12 mm. 
Habitat. —Margosatubig, Mindanao, Philippine Islands. 
Taken June and July. 
Described from five specimens sent by Dr. H. Uewton 
Kierulf, Cont. Surg. U.S. Army, and evidently lies near 
speciosus, Skuse, and Marshallii, Theob., and may easily be the 
female of a species in which only the male has been known, but 
at all events it is sufficiently unlike such descriptions as I have 
been able to find to warrant my assuming it to be new. 3 ’

Amboina. 
Ludlow’s lewaldi is near this, but the unbanded fore legs 
separate it. Doleschall’s species is clearly distinct from Walker’s 
immisericors, but I have been unable to obtain any Amboina 
mosquitoes.
