nearer the base of the wing than that of the latter, its stem 
equal to haf the length of the cell; stem of the second posterior

straight line, but very variable, often nearly its own length 
nearer the apex of the wing, the posterior longer than the mid. 
Length.—6 mim. 
Additional habitat—Hatatura and Otyba, Brazil, Amazons 
(Goeldi and Lutz) ; British Guiana (Dr. Low). 
Notes and Observations.—The 9 described as the ? of this 
species, p. 346, Vol. II., is not so, but a distinct species. 
Dr. Low took his specimens in virgin forest during the day. 
It is subject to considerable variation, especially in regard to the 
position of the cross-veins. A large series has been received from 
Prof. Goeldi.

(Mono. Culicid. II., p. 347, 1901.) 
The description of the ¢, p. 347, applies to the 9. The 9? 
described as a 9 nitidus is now removed from Sabethes. 
Fresh material has shown that the specimen (minus the apex 
of its abdomen) taken by Dr. Durham was a @ and not a ¢, 
the peculiarities of the male mid ungues not then being known. 
Professor Goeldi sent me some fresh specimens, but they all 
proved to be 9’s. 
Additions to description The abdomen has also silvery, as 
well as golden scales, and evidently varies just as in remipes. 
Head with deep purple scales, as well as violet, some specimens 
with the purple predominating. Thorax with deep blue scales 
on the sides, a median broad dark area and a pale peacock blue 
and apple-green area laterally in front of the wings and a pale 
almost golden spot at the root of the wings ; pleurae silvery. 
Additional locality.— Para (Goeldi). 
Time of capture-—May.
