Finlaya poicilia THEOB. (Plates II and III.) Monogr. Culicid. III. p. 283 (1903). Seven J's from New Guinea collected at Friedrich-Wilhelmshafen (1901); Seleo Berlinhafen (1896); Mount Hansemann, Astrolabe Bay (BIRO, 1901). They resemble the type in structural details but the wings have fewer spots. Males have recently been received from Kuala Lumpur, Federated Malay States, which show this genus belongs to the Culicinae. The cf is shortly being described in the «Entomologist». The 5's bear a very strong superficial resemblance to Aedeomyia. The New Guinea specimens differ in the following features from the specimens I have seen from Malaya : (I) leg markings often yellowish instead of white, (II) the wings present the following ornamentation — the costal pale areas may be either reduced to two, one small apical one, or four, one small apical one, two prominent median and one small basal spot, the third long-vein with two or three pale spots, the sixth with only two. The ventral abdominal tufts readly get worn off. The head and scutellar flat scales are not so pyriform as shown in the ligures in the text of my Monograph of Culicidse — the photo on plate XIII. Yol. III. gives the correct form of the wing scales and also in l'late III. of this work. Genus JOBLOTIA BLANCH. Tric/ioprosopon THEOBALD. Compt. Rend. Hebd. Soc. d. Biolog. No. 37. T.
