Myzorliynclius palndis Theobald. 



In 'Monograpli of the Culicid^,' the following descriptions 

 of certain parts of the female are found (vol. i, p. 128) : 



" Palpi densely scaled with black scales, with four narrow 

 rings of white scales. 



" Legs yellowish, with dark brown scales, the apices of the 

 metatarsi and first tarsal joints of the fore and mid legs with 

 a fine yellow band ; hind legs with the metatarsus very long, 

 and the extreme tip of the first tarsal joint white, the other 

 three joints pure white. 



"Wings clothed with yellow and black scales ; the costa 

 dark, broken by two small yellow spots, one near the apex, 

 and the other about a third of the length from the apex, the 

 apical spot extendiiig on to the first long vein and the upper 

 fork of the second long vein, the other spot passing on to the 

 first long vein only ; there is a yellowish spot farther back 

 on the first long vein, which does not, however, reach the 

 costa; fringe just as in sinensis." 



Of the fringe of sinensis is written : 



"Fringe yellow at the apex^ a small black patch separating 

 it from the costal spot, a pale patch where the lower half of 

 the fifth vein joins the border, all the rest dusky violet 

 black, except the border scales, which are pale yellow in 

 reflected light. 



"Length, 5 to 5*5 mm.^' 



On page 129, vol. i, is found the following on Anopheles 

 paludis, variety similis: 



" Palpi densely scaled with black scales, with two, three 

 or four rings of white scales ; the apex usually white. 



" Legs ochraceous, clothed with deep brown scales, with 

 a bright ochraceous sheen in some lights ; the apex of the 

 metatarsi and first two tarsal joints of the fore and mid legs 

 apically banded white, and also, to some extent, may be seen 

 a white basal patch on the metatarsi. In the hind legs the 

 metatarsi are l)roadly wliite banded at the base and apex,
