A Monograph of Culicidae. 
basal constriction or neck. Palpi short, three (?) jointed, clothed 
with brown scales and pale hairs. Proboscis very long. Antennae 
with nude, ochraceous basal joints. Mesonotum mostly denuded. 
The prothoracic lobes are developed into, or provided with, peculiar 
processes shaped like halteres and clothed with pale lilac scales. At 
the end of the club is a nude brown process shaped like a filbert nut. 
Veins of wings clothed with flat, broad, and long narrow scales : fork- 
cells rather short. There are numerous large pale-scaled patches on 
the pleura and coxae. Legs rather pale chocolate-brown throughout. 
The species is rather above the medium size. 
Habitat .—The Philippine Islands. Caught in the woods.” 
Notes .—I have appended Giles’ original description. The 
type is in the British Museum, but I have not had leisure to 
examine it. It is certainly not a Runchomyia. Banks has put a 
note as follows: “ This species is identical with Uranotaenia 
nitidoventer, Giles, but both are incorrectly placed as to genera.” 
Carter has examined the type and says : “ Certainly does not 
belong to either Runchomyia or Uranotaenia. There are no 
scales on the metanotum, although Giles from his description 
seems to be fairly certain of their presence.” 
Genus TRICHOPR0SOPON. Theobald (1901). 
Joblotia. Blanchard (1901). 
Mono. Culicid. II., 283 (1901) ; IV., 590 (1907). 
Four species have been described in this genus, and I think 
a fifth should be included. 
They tabulate as follows :— 
All the feet white .. splendens. Lutz. 
Hind feet not white .... nivipes. Theobald. 
Same, hut posterior half of abdomen 
laterally expanded, base contracted ... compressum. Lutz. 
Legs without white ....... lunata. Theobald. 
Trichoprosopon splendens. Lutz (in Peryassu) (1908).
