Wing of Hispidimyia hispida. ?. n. sp. 
Length .—4*5 mm. 
Habitat .—Near Gebel Ahmed Aga and Bor, Sudan (Harold 
King). 
Time of capture. —2. and 20. v. and 20. vi. 09. 
Observations .-—Described from two $ s and one $ taken and 
bred by Mr. Harold King, the one $ from a khor between 
Gebel Ahmed Aga was bred from a pupa with very long 
siphons. The second $ was taken on the boat between Bor 
and Mongalla. The 9 was captured at Bor. Mr. King noted 
that the dark scales on the abdomen and the palpi have a 
purplish sheen. The latter specimen was paler than the first 
and was dissected. It is a very marked insect, the only one 
I have seen present such marked palpal, proboscis and wing 
structure, and hence have placed it in a new genus, as it does 
not approach any known Culicid. The female described here 
was thought by King to belong to the two males and answers 
in all general characters.
