Genus Myzomyia. 37 
MYZOMYIA LONGIPALPIS, nN. sp. 
Thorax cinereous in the middle, with a few narrow-curved pale 
scales and golden hairs, sides dark rich brown ; pleurae brown. 
Abdomen black unbanded. Palpi long and thin, black, with 
three narrow white rings, apex white. Legs black, their bases 
pale brown, fore and mid unbanded, the hind with narrow 
yellow apical and basal bands. Wings mostly brown scaled, the 
black costa with four almost equal yellow spots. 
2. Head brown, with narrow grey scales ; palpi long and thin, 
black, the apex with a white band, the base of the apical joint 
and the apex of the penultimate white, forming a second white 
band and another white band at the junction of the penultimate 
and antepenultimate joints ; the palpi are as long as the proboscis, 
which is black with a pale apex and nearly as long as the whole 
body ; antennae brown. 
Thorax brown, with a cinereous sheen in the middle, the sides 
showing a deeper brown; with a few narrow-curved, pale scales 
and golden hairs, a dense tuft of long white scales in front, 
with a median division ; scutellum pale, with a few pale scales 
and brown border-bristles; metanotum deep brown ; pleurae 
brown. 
Abdomen black, with brown hairs. Legs black, their bases 
pale brown; the fore and mid pairs unbanded, the hind with 
narrow apical and basal yellow bands to the tarsi and metatarsi ; 
ungues equal and simple. 
Wings densely scaled with long, thin, lateral scales, with the 
dark costa with four nearly equal pale yellow spots, which 
extend evenly on to the first long vein, except the basal one, which 
is continued to the base of the wing on the first long vein ; the 
apical fringe of the wing is yellow with a small black spot, the 
yellow colour spreading on to the tip of the first long vein and 
on to the upper branch of the first fork-cell; veins dark scaled 
except for small yellow areas as follows:—at the tips of the 
fourth and fifth veins, at the base of both fork-cells and at 
the cross-veins, a long pale area on the lower branch of the fifth 
and one on its stem, two pale areas towards the base of the 
sixth ; fringe dark except at the ends of the veins, no pale spot 
at the sixth ; first sub-marginal cell longer and narrower than the 
second posterior cell, its base nearer the base of the wing ; its stem 
more than half the length of the cell; stem of the second 
posterior longer than the cell; supernumerary and mid-cross
