Genus Culicadci.

second posterior cell; stem of the latter as long as the cell; 
posterior cross-vein longer than the mid, not quite its own 
length distant from it; the base of the subcostal and first long vein 
prominently densely scaled with black scales. Hal teres with 
ochreous stem, fuscous knobs with pale creamy apical scales. 
Length. —4 to 5 mm. 
Habitat. —Sukna, 500 ft., E. Himalayas. 
Time of capture. —1 and 2. vii. 08. 
Observations. —Described from four perfect $’s. It comes 
near Cidiccida nipponii, Theobald, but can be told by the absence 
of pale apical abdominal scales and median grey scales and dark 
flat-scaled lateral cephalic patches. The abdomen in all four is 
thick and short, but this may be due to ingested blood. The 
ornamentation of the thorax varies in different lights. The 
dark thick-scaled area at the base of the wing is very character¬ 
istic. The specimens were taken in dense jungle, and bit during 
the day. The venation varies slightly.
