side and on the front and middle tibiae and their tarsi light yellow, tarsal 
claws simple; wings hyaline, first sub-marginal cell nearly twice as long 
as its petiole. 
Length.—3 mm. 
Two males and three females bred from material received from Prof. 
J. B. Smith, after whom the species is named. Type No. 5799, 
U.S. National Museum. 
_Habitat.—Lahaway, New Jersey. 
This species was compared with the type of Aedes fuscus and found 
to be very distinct, being easily told by the absence of abdominal pale 
scaled bands. 
Note.—I have not seen this species and do not know if it 
comes in the genus Aedes or some of the new related genera. 
It most likely occurs in Verrallina.—F. V. T. 

Genus 35. FICALBIA. nov. gen. 
Intermediate between Skusea, Verrallina and Uranotaenia. 
Head clothed entirely with flat scales, with a few short upright 
forked ones behind; palpi very short, two-jointed ; proboscis 
rather long, swollen apically. Thorax with narrow-curved scales, 
no flat ones as seen in Uranotaenia; scutellum covered with 
flat scales as in the latter genus. Wings with the fork-cells 
moderately short, the first sub-marginal longer than the second 
posterior, median wing scales broad and spatulate ; upper border 
of costa with spine-like scales ; ungues of the g unequal, simple. 
Very small species. 
Female unknown. 
This genus is separated from Aedes and Skusea on account of 
the complete flat-scaled structure of the head and scutellum, and 
from Uranotaenia on account of the larger and more normal fork- 
cells and the complete absence of flat scales on the mesonotum. 
At present the genus has only occurred in South India and 
Ceylon and is represented by two species, the females of which 
are at present unknown. 
The two species tabulate as follows :
