quite as long as the cell; posterior cross-vein longer than the 
mid, about one and a half times its length distant from it; the 
length of the second fork-cell is very noticeable. 
Length, —5 mm. 
£ . Like the 9 • Palpi and proboscis brown ; the former 
acuminate, thin and with scarcely a trace of hair-tufts, longer 
than the proboscis by rather more than the last segment, which 
is one and a half times the length of the penultimate ; antennae 
very plumose, banded grey and brown with flaxen-brown plume 
hairs. Labella thin and acuminate. 
Wings with short fork-cells, first longer and a little narrower 
than the second fork-cell, its base nearer the apex of the wing 
than that of the second, its stem longer than the cell, stem of 
the second fork-cell also longer than the cell; posterior cross-vein 
about twice its own length distant from the mid. 
Fore and mid ungues unequal, both uniserrate, the smaller 
with a very small tooth, hind equal and simple. Genitalia 
marked, a dark horn-like process from one side of the top of the 
basal lobe ; claspers curved with fine backwardly projecting teeth 
on one side. 
Length, —5 mm. 
Habitat .—Peradeniya and Hakgala, Ceylon (Green). 
Time of capture .—January and May 1907. 
Observations. —Described from two $’s and three £ ’s. A 
marked species but looking casually like a Culex fatigans, but 
the uniformly fawn-coloured thorax separates it and the very 
long second fork-cell. The male genitalia are very marked.

that freetownensis comes in i^he genus Culiciomyia and not in 
Culex, in which genus I originally placed this species.
