hairs dorsally ; the respiratory siphon is short and thick, rather 
rounded apically, with two tufts of bristles arising from the 
middle, its surface marked with little transverse lines of minute 
dots ; apex with small conical processes ; last segment with a 
dorsal and ventral tuft of long brown bristles.

(Mono. Culicid. IT., p. 279, 1901.) 
This species comes in this genus, and not in Wyeomyia. The 
hairs on the clypeus are quite distinct, the row of fork scales on 
the head very similar. 

Subp-FAMILyY HEPTAPHLEBOMYINA. 
A single species occurs which must undoubtedly be placed in 
a separate sub-family, on account of there being seven, not six, 
longitudinal scaled veins. This aberrant form seems to suggest 
that the anal fold on the wing in Culex is either a primitive or 
degenerate vein. 

Genus 49. HEPTAPHLEBOMYIA. nov. gen. 
Head covered with narrow-curved, flat lateral and upright 
forked scales ; palpi short, clavate, the last joint being distinctly 
swollen. Thorax with narrow-curved scales, and also the
