length; the posterior tibie swollen apically and white-tipped; all meta- 
tarsi uniformly dark-brown, on the anterior and mid, broadly on the 
posterior narrowly white at apex; anterior and mid tarsi very dark- 
brown, the first and second segments, only, white tipped; posterior tarsi 
snow-white except basal half of first segment which is dark-brown. 
Wings yellow and brown spotted as follows: Costa with 7 dark-brown 
spots, the basal being the shortest, the second, third and fourth succes- 
sively longer, the fifth twice length of fourth, from which it is removed 
by a yellow area equal in length to second dark spot; sixth slightly 
shorter than fifth from which it is separated by a distance equal to that 
between fourth and fifth; seventh equal in length to fourth and separated 
from sixth by its own length. Subcosta with spots similar to 4 and 5 
of costa, except that the one below, 5 has some yellow scales at its begin- 
ning; Vein I with spot under 4 of costa, 3 spots under 5, a small one 
at beginning a large one in middle and a very small one at end, similar 
to those of Myzomyia ludlowti Theob., in position; a spot under 6 and 
7 of the costa; Vein II with 3 dark spots on stem, one before and two 
after supernumerary, a basal and an apical dark spot on its anterior 
and a basal, a median and an apical spot on its posterior fork; Vein 
III with a dark spot on each side of mid cross vein and one apically, 
the portion before mid cross vein, dark scaled, the stem of its forks 
being yellow basally, the remainder being dark to fork, its anterior and 
posterior forks each with 2 darks spots; Vein V with a yellow spot at 
extreme base, then with a dark spot of same length followed by yellow 
to apex of posterior fork which is dark, its anterior fork having 3 dark 
spots, two sub-basal and the other apical; Vein VI with 3 dark spots, 
one sub-basal, a faint one medial and one apical. Cilia, beginning at apex 
of wings, alternately yellow and brown turning to grey-brown or nearly 
white near base. 
Mid cross vein slightly more than its own length from supernumerary, 
the posterior cross vein slightly more remote from mid cross vein. 
The unsealed portions of wing membrane have a golden sheen which 
is quite noticeable.

Mania, P. I. (Banks, collector). 
Time of capture 23 October 1906. 
Type ?, No. 5975 in Entomological Collection, Bureau of Science, 
Manila, P. I. 
This striking species is at once distinguishable by its snow-white hind 
tarsi, its frontal tuft and thoracic scales, from any other Anopheline in 
the vicinity of Manila. 
It is dedicated to Mrs. Paul C. Freer through whom I was led to 
discover the first specimen of this species seen. This specimen escaped, 
but the second one, from which this description is made, was caught in 
my house at the light. The type lacks the mid left leg.
