— Genus Stegomyia. 141 
Thorax rich deep-brown, with scattered golden narrow-curved 
scales, and showing in certain lights two dark eye-like patches 
on the ground surface; scutellum covered with small flat shiny 
creamy-white scales ; pleurae brown, with patches of grey scales ; 
metanotum deep clear brown. 
Abdomen brown, with basal white bands which spread out 
laterally ; venter black, with broad basal white bands; densely 
clothed with long brown hairs. 
Legs black, unbanded except for a clear, rather broad white 
apical band to the hind tibiae ; coxae brown ; bases and venter 
of the femora grey ; ungues of the fore and mid legs unequal, 
the larger uniserrated, the smaller apparently simple (?); hind 
ungues rather long, curved, equal and simple. 
| Wings with the first sub-marginal cell longer and narrower 
than the second posterior cell, its base nearer the base of the 
wing than that of the latter, its stem not quite so long as the 
cell; stem of the second posterior cell as long as the cell; 
posterior cross-vein about haif its own length distant from the 
mid cross-vein ; halteres with yellow stem and slightly fuscous 
knob. 
Length.—4°5 mm. 
Habitat.—Gambia (Dr. Dutton). 
Time of capture.—November. 
Observations.—Described from a single perfect male bred by 
Dr. Dutton from a larva found ina canoe. This Stegomyia very 
closely resembles Culex univittatus (Theobald), and might readily 
be mistaken for it on account of the conspicuous hind tibial 
banding ; but an examination of the head and scutellum readily 
reveals flat scales only. The pale head, white scutellum, and 
brown thorax form striking characters.
