306 A Monograph of Culicidae. 
Habitat.— Entebbe, Uganda (Dr. Low). 
Observations.—Described from a single 9 bred by Dr. Low. 
The larvae have a curious position when in the water, between 
that of Culex and Anopheles. It is a very marked and beautiful 
little species, the golden head and metallic apple-green thorax at 
once separating it from all other known Culicids. 
Minomyia (?) MASHONAENSIS. Theobald. 
Uranotaenia mashonaensis. Theobald. 
(Non var. alba.) 
(Mono. Culicid. IT., p. 259.) 
Although no fresh specimens of this species have been received, 
from the study of the new African species described above I am 
sure it belongs to this genus. 
The specimen described’ as a variety of it, under the name 
var. alba, is separate, so has to be raised to specific rank, as 
Uranotaenia alba, Theobald, being a true Uranotaenia. 
Genus 38. AEDEOMYIA. Theobald. 
(Mono. Culicid. IT., p. 218, 1901.) 
A single new species, Aedeomyia Americana, has been added 
to this genus. No specimens of Aedeomyinae answering to Aedes 
venustipes, Skuse, have come from Australia at present. 
AEDEOMYIA AMERICANA. Neveu-Lemaire. 
(Archives de Parasitologie, VI., p. 23, 1902.) 
The following is the original description :— 
“ Head yellowish-brown ; antennae longer than the proboscis in the ¢ ;
