Genus Culen. 179 
These specimens were a in April, Bs and December in 
N.S. Wales. 
Additional localities. pesaraee Woy Woy, Croydon and 
Como, New South Wales. 
CULEX CANTANS. Meigen. 
(Mono. Culicid. I., p. 401, 1901.) 
The ungues of the 9 are, as described by Ficalbi, all uni- 
serrated ; the hind ones are not simple as given in the text (of 
Vol. I., p. 402). The figure (No. 141, II.) refers correctly to 
what I believe is C. annulipes, which has simple hind ungues. 
C. cantans is a sylvan species, which Mr. W. R. Jeffreys, of 
Ashford, assures me is vicious in the woods in the weald of 
Kent. It bites at dusk, especially choosing the ankles. 
Culex maculatus.—Meigen was wrongly given in Vol. L, 
p. 401, as a synonym of this species. It is evidently C. 
nemorosus. 
CuLex procax. Skuse. 
(Mono. Culicid. I., p. 384, 1901.) 
Dr. Bancroft has sent two ?’s from Queensland which answer 
exactly to Skuse’s description, but they are somewhat larger 
(4:5 mm.).. The reddish-brown thorax is covered with narrow 
curved golden scales; the banding is not very clear in the fore 
and mid legs, and the mid cross-vein is no longer than the others 
in both specimens. 
CULEX OCCIDENTALIS. Skuse. 
(Proc. Linn. Soc., N. 8. Wales, p. 1729, 1889, Skuse; Mono. Culicid. I, . 
p. 419, 1901, Theobald.) 
¢. Palpi deep brown, with a white basal band to the apical 
and penultimate joints and a third broad pale band lower down ; 
hair-tufts on the last two joints and on the apex of the ante- 
penultimate pale brown ; apical joint considerably shorter than 
the penultimate joint. Antennae with bright brown plume 
hairs. Proboscis thin, black. 
Thorax ornamented as in the 9. 
Abdomen with distinct basal white bands. 
Legs banded as in the ? , but the femora mottled with yellow 
instead of white scales; fore and mid ungues unequal, Lee 
uniserrated ; hind equal, thick, uniserrated.
