328 A Monograph of Culicidae. 
Genus 45. SABETHOIDES. nov. gen. 
Allied to Sabethes, but differ in having (1) simple legs ; 
(2) shorter palpi in the Q sex; and (3) longer proboscis, which 
is not so distinctly swollen at the apex. 
Head covered with flat scales ; palpi very short, two-jointed, 
last joint long, about one-tenth the length of the proboscis ; 
proboscis as long as or a little longer than the abdomen, not 
swollen to any extent apically ; antennae of @ densely pilose, 
not as long as the proboscis. 
Thorax with small and large flat scales ending convexly, 
dense over the roots of the wings and scutellum; metanotum 
with chaetae. 
Legs simple ; ungues of ? simple and equal. 
Wings with the scales similar to Sabethes and with similar 
venation to Sabethes, the posterior cross-vein being either in a 
line with or just in front of the mid cross-vein. 
The genus bears a strong resemblance to Sabethes, the females 
IT took to be ? Sabethes, as also did some collectors. They can 
at once be separated, however, by noticing (1) the much smaller 
palpi, and (2) the unpaddled legs. 
The two 9’s described as 9 remipes and nitidus are both the 
same, and are thus united under the name I now propose, viz., 
confusus.

?. Head covered with flat violet, green, and deep blue 
scales, looking brown in some lights. 
Proboscis, palpi and antennae brown; basal joint of latter 
with ‘grey sheen; clypeus frosty grey. Palpi very small,

scales, the green predominating, and sometimes some dusky ones 
over the roots of the wings (nitidus) prothoracic lobes large,
