132 ERNEST HILL AND L. G. HAYDON. 



" Palpi black scaled, apical joint yellowish white; and the 

 apices of the two preceding also banded white, the bands 

 being narrow. 



" Legs with the femora and tibiae brown, spotted and 

 mottled with yellowish scales ; in the fore legs the joints are 

 broadly banded with yellow, the bands involving both sides 

 of the joints, in the mid and hind legs these bands are not 

 so marked, and only now and then partially spread on to the 

 bases of the joints, the major part of the bands being 

 apical. 



" Wings with four large and two small black spots on the 

 costa, the two median large ones are the longest ; on the first 

 long vein there is a black mark under the apical spot and 

 two under the next costal spot and two under the next large 

 one, a single one under the fourth; a black patch at the tip 

 of each vein, and at the fork of the first submarginal cell. 

 On the stem of the first submarginal cell, just at the fork and 

 under the third costal spot, is a small patch, another on each 

 side of the mid cross vein on the third vein, another at the 

 fork of the fourth vein, and one on each branch of the second 

 posterior cell, and another past the cross veins ; two on the 

 stem of the fifth, with three on its upper branch and three 

 on the sixth; first [submarginal cell longer, but little 

 narrower than the second posterior cell. . . . Fringe 

 black with yellow patches, where the veins join the border 

 of the wing. Length, 3 to 4*5 mm." 



Variations in wing spots are noted, particularly in the first 

 long vein. 



This is the commonest and most widely distributed of 

 Anophelina in Natal on low levels near the sea in the 

 warmer months of the year. We have not encountered it in 

 inland districts, and have not found the larva before October 

 nor later than early May. 



The wing markings do not correspond in all respects with 

 Theobald's description (vide PI. XXY, fig. h). Twenty-four 

 females were carefully examined; the black spot at the fork 

 of the first submarginal cell was absent in three, and consisted
