16a. ANOPHELES BANCROFTII, MS. name. 



Wings intensely black, with a single minute white interruption 

 of the costa opposite the middle of the fork-stems, and a slightly 

 larger patch of white on the apex ; there are two good-sized 

 white lengths on VI, and scattered white scales on some of the 

 other veins, but none of them are numerous enough to catch the 

 eye, except under considerable magnification ; though the internal 

 fringe shows distinct white interruptions at each longitudinal 

 junction except that of VI. Last joint of hind feet rather pale 

 brown, the remaining tarsal joints with more or less distinct, 

 but minute apical pale bands. Thorax and abdomen alike black- 

 grounded, and rather densely clothed with long, golden-brown 

 hairs. 



Head black-grounded, with a rather scanty, pale brown frontal tuft, 

 and the scales of the vertex and nape, both curved and erect forked, 

 rather darkly tinted ; appendages of head uniformly sooty and very 

 hh-sute. Pleurse marbled with black, and pale golden-brown. Halteres 

 sooty, except at the pallid bases of their stems. Venter sooty. 

 Length. — About 7 mm. 



Habitat. — Bupengarry, Queensland. 



Note. — Much resembles An. barbirostris, V. der Wulp, but differs in 

 the inner part of the wing being altogether darker and more densely 

 scaled, in the second j^ale spot being absolutely on the apex in place of 

 being sub-apical, and in the banding of the tarsi being much less obvious. 

 In reality the form is, I think, more nearlj' allied to An. atratipes, 

 Skuse. 



20a. ANOPHELES GAMBIA, MS. name. 



Wing with the costa dark at the apex and base, with three 

 yellowish interruptions, the two outer of which are nearly as large 

 as the intervening dark portions, while the innermost is barely 

 larger than a fourth basal dot ; the part of the sub-apical dark 

 spot which lies on I, is subdivided by a white spot ; remaining 

 long veins with the pale portions preponderating, but all with 

 much black ; internal fringe with narrow pale interruptions at all 

 but the sixth long junction. Upper three fore tarsal articulations 

 pale banded ; mid and hind legs with three apical bands, very 

 indistinct in the latter, the last two joints being all black. 

 Thorax dark-grounded, with scattered yellowish-brown, broad, 

 fusiform scales. Abdominal segments dark, densely clothed with 

 long golden hairs, but nude of scales. 



? . — Head black-grounded, with the scales of vextex and a strong 

 frontal tuft whitish, the nape black-scaled ; palpi black, the last joint
