distinct membranous tegulae. Legs black, with the exception 
of a fairly broad white band at the base of the posterior femora, 
and smaller patches on the under surface of the other femora; 
there are large white knee spots; and two broad bands, one 
placed on the base of the first tarsal joint (= metatarsus— 
F. Y. T.) and apex of the tibia, and the second on the apex of 
first and base of the second tarsal (the first tarsal here = the 
metatarsus—F. Y. T.); in the fore legs there is a faint ring on 
the next articulation. 
“ Abdomen sooty-black, each segment having a pair of broad 
lateral basal snowy spots. There is also a minute median spot 
on the dorsum of the last visible segment. Yenter uniformly 
sooty-black. 
“ Length of wing .—3 mm. (? F. Y. T.) 
“ Habitat .—Taken in Government House, Allahabad.” 
Note (F. Y. T.).—This is evidently a very distinct species, 
and from its description I feel certain it must come in my genus 
Stegomyia. The so-called first tarsal joint in Giles’s description 
is what I call the metatarsus; he has evidently mistaken the 
scutellum for the metanotum. The figure is also reproduced from 
a rough sketch by Colonel Giles. 
Since the above was written I have seen the type, and find 
it is a true and very well-defined Stegomyia.

(Fig. 1B3, PI. XXXIV.) 
Thorax deep rich brown, with two pairs of brilliant silver 
spots on the dorsum and two lateral pairs, and five on the 
pleura; scutellum with three silver spots. Abdomen deep 
blackish-brown, unbanded in the $ , with white basal lateral 
spots, which nearly meet in the £ to form basal bands. Legs 
dark brown, tarsi unbanded; knee spot silvery-white, apex of 
tibiae w T hite, and also a white bar near apex of femora; ungues 
in 9 equal and simple; in £ the fore and mid unequal, both 
the fore ones toothed; in the mid legs the larger are simple, the 
smaller uniserrated; hind ungues equal and simple. 
9 . Head almost black, covered with flat black scales and 
bluish-white ones as follows: a patch of bright bluish-white 
ones on each side over the eyes, separated by a broad median 
black patch, another patch on each side of the head, and some
