cross-vein a little longer than the mid, sloping backwards, rather 
more than twice its own length distant. 
Length .—5 mm.

Wing of Culicelsa neotaeniorhynchus. $. n. sp. 
Wings densely brown scaled, the scales rather broader than 
in the female; first fork-cell longer and narrower than the 
second, its base a little nearer the apex of the wing, its stem 
more than half the length of the cell; stem of the second fork¬ 
cell not quite as long as the cell; posterior cross-vein about twice 
its own length distant from the mid. Claspers normal, but the 
basal lobe has a large round apical projection, to which the 
clasper is attached. 
Length .—5 mm. 
Habitat. —Delagoa Bay, E. Africa (Jose F. Sant Anna). 
Observations .—Described from four 9’s an d two £ ’s. 
Very near C. accraensis, differing in the thoracic ornamenta¬ 
tion, and possibly only a variety of that species both very 
near C. taeniorhynchus, Wied., from S. America, but the male 
genitalia very marked, and the banding of the legs is different. 
Type in the British Museum. *
