Genus Culicelsa. 
319 
length of the cell; posterior cross-vein a little more than twice 
its own length distant from the mid. 
Length. —4*5 mm. 
£. Similar to the female, but the abdominal markings 
much more distinct; abdomen hairy, hairs brown. Fore and 
mid ungues unequal, the larger toothed, the smaller apparently 
simple, the tooth on the mid larger unguis very large compared 
to the first ; hind equal and simple. Claspers of the genitalia 
rather broad and deep brown. Antennae densely plumose with 
brown plume hairs. 
Length. —5 mm. 
Habitat .—Accra (Dr. Graham). 
Time of capture. —8, 14, 19. vi. 08. 
Observations. —Described from two $’s and one f caught 
in latrines. 
The species comes very near C. taeniorhynchus, but can at

abdomen and legs, and non-serrate ungues in the 9 • 
Type in the British Museum. 
Culicelsa accraensis. nov. sp. 
var. fusca. n. v. 
This exactly resembles the type, but the thorax is clothed 
entirely with bronzy scales, except the scutellum, and all the 
upright forked scales are dark. 
Locality and time of appearance same as the type, but a few 
days earlier, according to the dates on the specimens.

From the markedly bronzy scaled thorax, thus differing from

fact that one specimen shows many pale scales on the thorax
