526 A Monograph of Culicidae. 
with a band of flat, white, broadly ( round-ended ? scales running 
cephalad from the wing joints, and meeting at the nape, making 
a continuous line of bluish-white around the latero-cephalic edge 
of the mesonotum, many long brown bristles near the scutellum; 
scutellum brown, markedly lobed, with flat brown scales and 
very long brown bristles; pleura brown, with brown flat scales, 
shaped like those on the mesonotum, and a line of flat white 
scales running diagonally across ; metanotum brown. 
Abdomen covered with black scales except a triangular 
apical spot (apex toward the base of the segment) of brilliant 
white scales, the spot sometimes extending to the base of the 
segment; venter black, except a few white scales forming a 
median line. 
Legs : coxae and trochanters light, with brown scales. The 
remainder of the legs covered with brown scales except in the 
hind legs, which have the fourth and fifth and the distal half 
of the third joint pure white, mid femora markedly swollen. 
Ungues missing on all but the hind legs, where they are white, 
simple and very broad, rather leaf-like. 
Wings clear, almost white, partly denuded, but with broad 
scales, some of them symmetrical as in Mansonia, others 
suggesting the 4 heart-shaped ’ scales of Etorleptiomyia, mostly 
brown, but some white scales, an irregular white spot just 
exterior to the root of the third long-vein, and extending on 
the second long and subcosta, but not on the costa, costal scales 
as in Uranotaenia. The cells very short, first submarginal at 
least one-third shorter than, and not so wide- as the second 
posterior cell;■ supernumerary and mid cross-vein about the 
same length, meeting at an angle, and the posterior cross-vein 
about one-half the length of, and three times its length distant, 
anteriorly, from the mid. 
Length .—3 ■ 5-4 mm. 
Habitat .—Reine Regente, Mindanao, P.I.
