364 A Monograph of CuUcidae. 
Observations .—Described from a single 9 sent by Mr. W ray. 
It is closely related to C. sitiens, but can at once be told by the 
bases of the two fork cells being nearly level, whereas in sitiens 
that of the first sub-marginal is much nearer the base than that 
of the second posterior. The head ornamentation also differs a 
little, and the strongly-marked tibio-metatarsal band on the mid 
and hind legs seems very characteristic. 
I feel sure this is the same as Walker’s Culex imjoellens , 
described from Makessar in Celebes. All that remains of the 
type, however, are thorax and wings, and they answer to these 
specimens. I have only seen a single £ .

Wings unspotted. Tarsi minutely basally handed, pale oclireous. 
Thorax unadorned, fuscous. Abdominal segments fuscous, with rather 
narrow yellowish-white basal bands. Proboscis with three oclireous bands. 
Head fuscous ; eyes with a barely perceptible whitish margin; nape 
fuscous, with a few whitish hairs. Antennae fuscous, minutely banded 
white in the d . Proboscis fuscous, with three separate ochreous bands, 
one forming the tip; the second sharply defined and much broader, 
beyond the middle; the third less sharply defined, especially in the ? ,

of the markedly subulate terminal joint, fuscous, with minute white basal 
bands to the last three joints ; ? exceptionally minute, nearly black, with 
an indistinct greyish tip. 
Thorax fuscous, with golden-brown tomentum, unadorned. Wings
