Genus Limatus. — oe: 
has not lateral apical spots, and the ¢ differs in the palpi, and 
the 2 in venation and absence of lateral spots. From Run- 
chomyia frontosa it differs in the much shorter proboscis. 

Genus 47. LIMATUS. Theobald. 
(Mono. Culicid. IT., p. 349, 1901.) 
The male of this genus is characterised by the peculiar 
structure of the proboscis (Fig. 189), which is bent above the 
middle, and has more or less dense 
scales standing out at the bend, there & 
is also an apical tuft of scales. The 
palpi are minute, the legs long as in 
the 2, and with all simple ungues, the 
mid ones are, however, of different 
form. The wings have rather long 
fork-cells and the scales on the basal

d6- Palpi apparently very small and scaly, proboscis 
elbowed near the middle, with a dense tuft of scales below, at 
the bend, and with a tuft of scales apically ; near its base on the 
ventral surface are a few prominent downwardly projecting 
bristles ; wing scales much as in the 9, but those on the basal 
portions of the veins rather longer and more pedunculated : 
venation much as in the 9 ; fore ungues small, equal and 
simple ; mid larger, equal, but of different form ; hind sinall, 
equal and simple. Legs long. Genitalia pale, very peculiar, but 
not possible to make out in detail in specimens examined.
