GENUS ANOPHELES 295 



forwards. Costa of the wings dusky brown with yellowish intersections 

 which lie lengthwise. Tliere are spots also on the inner edge and middle 

 part of the wings, bvat they are much smaller. 



Habitat. — St. Domingo, Hayti, and noted as found in tlie Island of 

 Porto Rico by V. von Eoder, in " Entomolog. Zeitung, Stetin," 1885, 

 p. 339. 



3. ANOPHELES ARGYROTARSIS, E. Desvoidy. 



(Essai, p. 411.) An. albitarsis, Arribal. (" L. A.," p. 3G. ) 



Wing with the costa black, interrupted by two small white 

 spots, and a couple of basal white dots, in addition to which 

 there is a large yellowish apical spot, involving all veins back to 

 IV, inclusive. The remaining long veins are mainly white, and 

 the fringe is interrupted at all the longitudinal junctions. Last 

 three hind tarsals, and apices of the two other joints white ; fore 

 legs with the three upper tarsals apically white-banded, the last 

 two all dark ; mid with all joints so banded, but very indistinctly 

 so, especially on the last two. Thorax and abdomen black, 

 thickly clothed with pale ferruginous scales. 



The name of this species is somewhat a misnomer, as in most speci- 

 mens the pale tips of the hind tarsi are of the snowiest white in all 

 ordinary lights. The male palpi are dark grey, with a white patch in the 

 middle of the second joint and a band at its junction with the third, as 

 well as some rather ill-defined marldngs on the club ; those of the J are 

 black, shaggy at the base, with all the terminal joint and minute bands 

 on the next two articulations pure white. Only the apical white spot 

 and the outer part of the costal interruptions are of any size, and these 

 and the next uiternal alone affect the contiguous long veins. The greater 

 part of the remaming long veins are pale scaled, but there are numerous 

 short lengths of black on most of them. The anterior wing fringe has 

 large interruptions opposite each longitudinal junction. Length. — 4 to 

 5 mm. 



Habitat. — St. Lucia, Rio de Janeiro, Jamaica, British Guiana, 

 Antigua, Grenada.

 Plate viii, fig. 3a, Wing of 2 , and 3b, that of c? . 



Wings with the costa black, with two minute white interrup- 

 tions, one sub-apical, the other || base of forks ; a third spot on 

 the auxiliary long vein, || forking of V, does not involve the costa; 

 the rest of wing is mainly dark, and there is but one fringe spot,
