(Comp. Rend. Heb. Soc. Biologie, No. 23, p. 795, 1902; Jour. Trop. Med. 
p. 181, 1902.) 
(Plate V.) 
Thorax with hair-like scales; prothoracic lobes with ragged 
scales ; the abdomen with ventral and a few apical scales, and a 
ventral apical tuft; there are no lateral scale tufts to the 
segments (fig. 1, 7); wing scales broadly lanceolate or moderately 
lanceolate, sometimes short and broad; palpi densely scaled in- 
the 9 and also the proboscis. 
Wild species breeding in swampy ground. Larvae with 
much branched frontal hairs. Mostly large and dark species. 
A number of closely related forms occur here, the two most 
marked species being barbirostris and sinensis. 
This genus was renamed by Blanchard owing to my name 
having been previously used by Owen in 1838.
