Genus Stegomyia. 147 
STEGOMYIA MICROPTERA. Giles. 
Culex micropterus. Giles. 
Wyeomyia micropterus. Giles. 
This insect, of which Giles’s description is given in Vol. 2 of 
this work, p. 281, under the heading Wyeomyia microptera, is 
now said by Giles to be a Stegomyia (vide his “ Handbook of 
Gnats,” 2nd ed., p. 380). | 
I have not seen the specimen, which appears to have been 
lost. Another locality is given, namely Jhansi. 
STEGOMYIA NIGRICEPHALA, ‘Theobald. 
(Mono, Culicid. IT., p. 315, 1901.) 
(Plate XII.) 
Additional locality.—Buguma, Nigeria, West Africa (A. H. 
Hanley). Captured in July. | 
Notes.—The original description of this species was drawn up 
from a single specimen. I was thus unable to mount the wing, 
hence an error due to its uneven surface. 
The description of the wing should read as follows :—First 
sub-marginal cell longer and narrower than the second posterior 
cell, its stem scarcely two-thirds the length of the cell, the base of 
the first sub-marginal cell nearer the base of the wing than that

of the second posterior ; posterior cross-vein rather more than 
twice its own length distant from the mid cross-vein. Some fresh 
specimens also show some flat creamy-white scales at the sides 
of the head and black upright forked ones behind.
