Genus Sabethes. 323 
The male and female in 8. remipes look very similar, but can 
at once be told by the apex of the abdomen and by the more 
pilose antennae in the ¢, but they are not nearly so densely — 
plumed as in Culex. The specimens 
described as ? remipes (Vol. IL, p. 346) 
taken by Dr. Durham at Para with the 
3 remipes are not so, but are a distinct 
species. The true 2 remipes is described 
here (p. 324). Whether the $’s and ?’s 
of all the other species are also both 
paddled as in remipes and longipes I do 
not know, in the meanwhile we can take, 
anyhow, remipes as the type. My reason 
for including certain specimens without 
paddle legs in this genus was that they 
were sent me as being 9’s of this genus, 
and the peculiar position of the cross-veins, 
and the scale structure certainly agree Hig. 182. 
with Sabethes. The previously described = “10Hes "emives. &. 
as 2 remipes are referred to on page 328. 
Nothing is known of the life-history of Sabethes, except that 
they are sylvan insects, and occur in huts, etc., near forest 
growth. I have seen three species, and Dr. Lutz mentions two 
others to me.

Dr. Lutz also mentions to me a species he calls S. albiprivus* 
—a blue and gold species with coppery paddle on the mid legs, 
without any white, the g and 9 resembling one another, from 
Sao Paulo and Rio. S. Luézii occurred at Manaos, on the 
Amazon. 
* Specimens of this species have now reached me from Dr. Lutz; it is 
quite distinct, but clearly related to remipes. The cross-vein differs from 
any of the other Sabethes.,
