Cyprus (Miss Bate and Major Girvin) ; Cape of Good Hope, at 
Londale (Maevicar). 
Observations.—Dr. Grabham writes from Madeira as follows : 
‘““ Never found in houses. JI have bred them from larvae which 
existed in great abundance in all stagnant collections of water, 
especially horse-ponds containing the refuse of stables. The 
people told me they had never observed this form attacking man 
or animals. They fed eagerly on banana slices, but never 
attempted to bite my hands. They were found mostly at 
St. Michaels, Azores, and bred from larvae found about Ponta 
Delgada and the mineral springs at Las Furnas. The ova are 
deposited in rafts.” 
The single specimen received from South Africa was taken 
in a hospital at Londale (1300 feet altitude). In Cyprus they 
occur up to 5000 feet altitude, at Troiditissa. 
Time of capture.—September, in Cyprus.

(Plate XII.) 
Scales of the head, thorax, and abdomen as in Theobaldia. 
The 2 palpi 3-jointed, the small mammilliform apical joint of 
Theobaldia being absent ; the last joint is very long and ends 
bluntly ; there may be a small joint between the basal and 
penultimate, but I cannot detect it clearly in the ? ; 6 palpi 
3-jointed, the last joint acuminate, not clavate, slightly longer 
than the penultimate joint; all the joints very hairy except at 
the base of the palpi. 
Wings spotted after the manner of Myzomyia. The wing 
scales (Plate XII.) partly Culex-like, partly Taeniorhynchus-like, 
the latter forming the dark spets and areas. Wing fringe spotted 
like a Mucidus. 
A single species occurs in this genus, namely, the Culex 
Bigotu of Bellardi. 
Lurzia Bicotu. Bellardi. 
Culex Bigotit. Bellardi. 
(Mono. Culicid. IL, p. 343, 1901.) 
Dr. Lutz originally suggested to me that this very marked 
Culicine should be placed in a new genus, consequently I have
