Genus Cut ex. 
391 
Culex (?) japonicus. Theobald (1901), 
Mono. Culioid. I., 885 (1901); III., 158 (1903). 
Tokyo, Japan; Ceylon. 
Type in the British Museum. 
Culex (?) japonicus. Theobald (1901). 
var. Geylonica. n. v. 
Mono. Culicid. IV., 158 (1907). 
I referred to this variety in the last volume, the specimen 
being spent by Mr. Green from Ceylon, another female was 
received in 1900 taken in the same locality, Peradeniya, but in 
June, not October. 
The variety differs from the type in having more pronounced 
golden lines on the thorax—the hind femora white only along 
one patch of the base of the under side and more pronounced 
abdominal banding. I can see no reason to separate it as a 
distinct species.

(2) yellow or golden scaled head (not white as in japonicus );
