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



border and one smaller basal one : third long vein dark. Palpi 

 of 2 thin, brown with two narrow pale bands and a pale apex; of 

 (J brown, the last two joints swollen, the penultimate and antepen- 

 ultimate with apical pale bands, the apex of antepenultimate and the 

 penultimate with golden-brown hair-tufts. 



FIG. 2. Male genitalia of A. culicifacies. 



Length of $ 3'8 mm. ; of $ 3'5 to 4 mm. 



Halitat. Hoshangabad (C.P.), and Behars ; Lahore, Punjaub. 



Observations. A very distinct species. The abnormal habit of 

 assuming the position of Culex when resting should also identify it 

 when alive. The abdomen when fresh seems to have conspicuous 

 banding. The wing-fringe in the ? type is unspotted, but this is due 

 to fading ; fresh specimens have three spots. 



The male genitalia (fig. 2) are very peculiar.* 



Anopheles Kochii. (Donitz.) 



' Insecten Borse,' 5 Jr., 18, 31 January, 1901, p. 36, Donitz ; ' Mono. 

 Culicid.,' 1, p. 174(1901), Theobald. 



Thorax fawn coloured, with two large eye-like black spots ; the 

 front with longish white, the rest with creamy curved scales. Abdo- 

 men ashy-brown with numerous scales and dull golden hairs and lateral 

 dark tufts of scales as in A. pukherrimus, Theobald. Legs banded 

 and marked with dark brown and yellow, some of the tarsi basally 

 brown banded. Costa creamy-yellow with four black spots and 

 numerous small ones over the wing field. 



Length. 3 mm. 



Habitat. Malay Peninsula, East Indies (Sumatra and Java) ; 

 Calcutta. 



Observations. Very like A. pukherrimus, and closely related to it, 

 being densely scaly, and with similar lateral apical tufts to the 

 abdominal segments, but easily separated by the two thoracic ocelli 

 and the absence of white hind tarsi. 



* The ? type of culicifacies is the same as Giles's $ Listoni; as culicifacies 

 was described first, that name stands. The $ type of culicifacies is a $ A. Turkhudi,
