The females were taken at Jebel Akmet-Aga on the White Nile, also on the Middle 

 Sobat.

Dr. Balfour writes that this common African species has been taken in numbers on the 

 Blue Nile. Colonel Penton also took it on the Jur and at Meshra. 



Genus Cellia, Theobald

Cellia sijnamosa, Theobald. Anopheles squamosa, Theobald 



Mono. Culieid. I., p. 167 (1901) and III., p. 109 (1903) 



This Anopheliue has been taken by Colonel Penton, P.M.O., at Meshra, in the Bahr- 



El-Ghazal. 



It has been recently sent me from Godokoro as well, by Dr. Aubrey Hodges. It also 

 occurs over Uganda, Mashonaland, and the Transvaal. It was originally described from 

 specimens taken in Mashonaland by Mr. Marshall and in British Central Africa by 

 Dr. Daniels. 



This Cellia is very marked and can at once be told from the other member of the 

 genus found in Egypt and the Sudan, viz. C. pharosnsis (Theob.), by its black colour 

 and white markings. There are white scales on the thorax, three white lines on the pleurae, 

 and black, bronzy and ochreous scales on the black abdomen, which has also black lateral 

 tufts of scales. The dark scaled wings have three prominent, and two small basal white 

 costal spots, and the legs are mottled and banded with white. I have not yet seen a male 

 of this Cellia. It will probably be found all along the Nile.

This species has been taken in 

 abundance by Colonel Penton on the Jur 

 and at Meshra during the past year. 



It is evidently common in the Bahr- 

 El-Ghazal.
