376 Mr. F. V. Theobald. On the Culicidce of India, 



on the lower branch of the second fork-cell, and two long ones on its 

 stem ; two on the upper, one on the lower branch of the fifth long 

 vein, and one at its base ; three small ones on the sixth vein ; fringe 

 dusky, partly yellow at the apex, and with a yellow spot at the termi- 

 nations of the veins ; fork-cells short, base of the first submarginal 

 slightly the nearer to the base of the wing, its stem nearly as long as 

 the cell ; stem of the second posterior longer than the cell ; super- 

 numerary cross-vein nearly its own length in front of the mid cross- 

 vein, the posterior cross-vein longer than the mid, nearly twice its own 

 length distant from it, stoping towards the base of the wing. 



Length. 3'5 to 4'5 mm. 



Habitat. Lahore, India. 



Observations. Described from five ? 's sent by Captain James and 

 Drs. Christophers and Stephens. It comes near A. maculata, Theo. 

 (p. 171, vol. 1, ' Mono. Culicidse'), but can at once be told by the last 

 hind tarsi not being white as in that speckled-legged anopheles ; from 

 the speckled-legged A. Theobaldi, Giles (' Ento. Mo. Mag.,' p. 198, 1901), 

 and A. Jamesii, Theo. ('Mono. Culicidse,' p. 134, vol. 1), also by the 

 hind tarsi not being white. The third spot on the border of the wing 

 is subject to some variation, as shown in fig. 1. One specimen has- 

 only two spots on the sixth long vein, not three. 



Anopheles Rossii. (Giles.) 



' Journ. Trop. Med.,' Oct. 1899, Giles; ' Hnd. Bk. Gnats,' p. 149, 

 Giles ; ' Mono. Culicid.,' 1, p. 154, Theobald. 



Thorax pale yellowish-brown, with scattered greyish reflections, and 

 with a darker median line arid scattered pale scales and hairs. Palpi 

 of ? dark scaled, white apically, and with two other pale bands ; 

 of d, swollen at the end, yellow, with a broad black band at the 

 base, one in the middle, and a small broken one at the apex of the 

 same joint, and a narrow black ring at the base of the last two apical 

 joints. Abdomen dusky, with a dense covering of ochraceous hairs. 

 Legs yellow, with brown scales and yellowish bands, both apical and 

 basal to the tarsi. Wings with four black costal spots, the largest 

 usually flatly T-shaped, but variable ; fringe with yellow spots where 

 the veins join the border of the wings, except at the sixth vein. 



Length of ? 4 to 6 mm. ; of <$ 4'5 to 5*5 mm. 



Habitat. Calcutta ; Lucknow ; Madras ; Quilon ; Behar, Bengal ; 

 Dacca ; Sambalpur ; Etawah, N.W.P. ; Singapore ; Perak, and other 

 Malay States. 



Observations. This species seems to be very variable in regard to the 

 wing markings. The typical costal T-shaped spot will not distinguish 

 the species as I previously supposed, as this spot is variable. Several 

 specimens have an accessory spot at the end of the T-shaped one,
