Genus Stegomyia. 
and of rather peculiar form. The details of the adornment of the 
head and thorax seem to vary a good deal, the head in one specimen 
being all black, but for a pair of small white spots behind the eyes, 
and in others the mesonotum appears entirely white scaled. Bather 
above the medium size.

Type in the British Museum. 
Mr. F. Carter has examined the type of this species again 
for me, and notes “ very bad specimen, no scales on thorax, and 
few on the scutellum. The head scales all flat, and a few dark 
flat ones may be seen on scutellum. Probably a Stegomyia T 
When I saw the type I could not place such a specimen any¬ 
where as it was mostly denuded, and in consequence, as the 
description is of little value, I place it as an obscure species ; 
but as Carter says, probably in this genus. Banks * gives the 
locality Pampanga, Camp Stotsenberg, Angeles, P. I. (E. R. 
Whitmore).

“ Much resembles the above, but the hind femora have a narrow 
continuous black stripe above, no light apical femoral spots, and the 
general coloration is deep chocolate in place of the jet black. The 
head differs in being nearly black, with a very narrow white border 
behind the eyes and a minute white patch on the nape. The 
mesonotum is clothed with deep brown scales in the middle, with 
a complete border of bushy golden-yellow scales. A rather large 
species. 
Habitat .—The Philippine Islands. 4 Caught in the woods.’ ” 
The type of this is not in the British Museum, and probably 
must sink with the former. ISTo one could identify the Culicid 
from the description. Banks gives the locality as Pampanga, 
Camp Stotsenberg, Angeles, P. I. (E. R. Whitmore).
