Wing of Stegomyia dubia. $. n. sp. 
length of the cell, stem of the second fork-cell slightly more than 
half the length of the cell; posterior cross-vein sloping backwards 
parallel with the mid, about twice its own length distant from it. 
Wing scales almost Taeniorhynchus-like. 
Length. — -4 mm. 
Habitat. —Katemar, Bihe, Angola (Dr. Creighton-Wellman). 
Time of capture .— 3. ii. 05 (10 a.m.). 
Observations. —Described from a worn and damaged 9 » but 
the marked leg ornamentation and wing venation should at once 
separate it. The second hind tarsal being nearly all white, and 
the curious bend in the first long vein near the apex are the 
essential characters. It is evidently a Stegomyia from the cephalic 
ornamentation. 
Type in the British Museum.
