290 A Monograph of Culicidae. 
Legs brown, pale ochraceous towards the base, mid and hind 
metatarsi with a narrow pale basal band ; fore and mid ungues 
equal, uniserrated. 
Wings with the fork-cells short, the first 
sub-marginal a little longer and slightly 
—< narrower than the second posterior cell, its 
Fig. 161. base very slightly nearer the base of the 
Howanmuns ees ?- wing; its stem nearly two-thirds the length 
of the cell; stem of the second posterior 
as long as the cell; posterior cross-vein about one and a half 
times its own length from the mid cross-vein; halteres with 
ochraceous stem and fuscous knob. 
Length.—3 rom. 
Habitat.—Peradeniya, Ceylon (Green). 
Time of capture.—February. 
Observations.— Described from a single specimen. The bright 
golden scaled ornamentation:on the thorax and the metatarsal 
banding should easily separate it. 


Genus 32. AEDIMORPHUS. nov. gen. 
Head clothed with flat scales over most of its surface, with 
narrow-curved ones behind. Scutellum with flat scales and 
eight (?) border-bristles ; mesothorax with curved hair-like and 
narrow-curved scales; metanotum nude. Fork-cells moderately 
long ; first sub-marginal longer than the second posterior cell ; 
many of the lateral vein-scales long and broad. _ 
A single species only occurs, which I provisionally placed in 
Uranotaenia, viz., U. domestica. 
The genus differs from others near Aedes, in (1) the pre- 
sence of mixed head scales and flat scutellar ones, and (2) 
in the Uranotaenia-like appearance of the thorax, but differs 
from the latter in having long fork-cells and no flat thoracic 
scales.
