tarsal joints show quite distinct lighter yellow apical bands, tliough they are quite 

 imperceptible in the ? . His fore-ungues, besides the usual accessory tooth, have a 

 strong additional one close to the base, representing probably the other claw, which 

 appears wanting, those of the mid and hind legs are simple and symetrical. 



Length, 9 — 10 min. 



Hab. : Sent rae by Dr. Price, I. M.S., Eetd., of Conoor, Nehilgerri 

 Hills, where the species appears fairly common, though it does not 

 appear to occur in the plains, Couoor lying at au elevation of over 

 6000 feet above the sea level. 



Anopheles culioifacies, sp. n. 



Wings with the costa black, except at the apex, interrupted by four small 

 straw-coloured spots, which grow progressively smaller from base to apex, ail 

 involving the second long vein ; there is another distinct light spot over the cross 

 veins, and three more on the principal bifurcations of the long veins, but in the 

 main the wing is very dark, and the fringe shows no pale patches. Tarsi unhanded, 

 nearly black. Thorax dai-k-grounded, covered with yellow scales, so arranged as to 

 show a median and a pair of lateral dark bare lines. Abdominal segments con- 

 spicuously basally banded with yellowish, being in the fresh state completely 

 clothed with yellowish and deep brown scales. Head black, with whitish fork 

 scales on the vertex, but with the frontal tuft ill marked. Antennae, ^ , dark brown, 

 about three-fourths the length of the proboscis ; palpi of S black, about the length 

 of the proboscis, with yellowish rings on the last two articulations, and a lighter 

 tip ; of ? , black, except the whole of the last joint, and, two bands on the next 

 two articulations, which are straw-coloured, and as the penultimate joint is long, 

 the second is well down towards the base. Legs black throughout, except minute 

 yellow bands on the apices of the tibae. 



When seen at rest this mosquito presents a close resemblance to C. fatigans, 

 Wied., as, apart from the conspicuous abdominal banding, the female habitually 

 sits humped up like a Culex, while even the males keep the body no more than 

 parallel to the surface they rest on. Length, 3'5 — 4 mm. 



Hah. : Iloshaugabad, Central Provinces, and the Benars, India. 



Anopheles Listoni, sp. n. 



Wing with the costa black, including the actual base, with four yellow spots 

 distinct, but much smaller than the intervening black portions, the largest light 

 area being that quite at the base ; there is also an apical spot ; the remaining long 

 veins are mainly black, but all of them show short lengths of white scales, and a 

 line of these over the cross veins, combined with one of the costal spots, forms a 

 distinct light stripe across the wing. The fringe is dark, except at the apex, and 

 indistinct paler patches opposite one or two of the longitudinal functions. Tarsi 

 dark, unhanded. Thorax and abdomen much as in A.funestus, mihi. Head black, 

 with a robust frontal tuft ; forkccT scales mostly dark in the ? , but with many white 

 ones behind in the S ■ Palpi of ? ; black, witli two narrow rings and a ^.^ linute tip 

 of white, slightly shorter than the proboscis; those of the ^, as ^^ y as the 

 proboscis, black-tipped, but with two whitish bands. >
