with Descriptions of New Species of Anopheles. 387 



Proboscis with a broad yellowish-white band in the middle. Legs 

 brown, with small yellow basal rings and a small white band at the 

 apex of the femora. Head brown, covered with creamy-brown curved 

 scales and a pale border round the eyes and upright brown forked 

 scales. 



Fore ungues of $ unequal, the larger uniserrated, the smaller 

 simple. 



Length of ? 5 mm. ; of <J 5 mm. 



Habitat. Quilon, Travancore; Madras; Calcutta, and North- West 

 Provinces. 



Observations. Very like the next species, only darker, rather larger, 

 and the head all pale instead of with two black patches as in C. Vishnui. 

 The $ ungues also differ. 



Culex Vishnui. (Theobald.) 

 ' Mono. Culicid.,' 1, p. 355 (1901). 



Thorax brown, with fawn coloured scales, two more or less distinct 

 median lines and a thin central one formed by a row of bristles. Abdo- 

 men deep brown, basally banded with pale yellow, some of the apical 

 segments with a narrow row of apical yellow scales as well. Legs 

 brown, tarsi darker, narrowly basally banded with yellow ; ungues of 

 ? equal and simple. Head with dark lateral patches. Male fore 

 ungues, unequal, both uniserrated. 



Length of ? 3 to 4'5 mm. ; of <$ 3 to 4 mm. 



Habitat. Quilon ; Sambalpur ; Punjaub ; Madras ; Dacca ; Ceylon. 



Observations. Resembling the former, but easily told by the paler 

 hue and head ornamentation, as well as the $ ungues. Evidently a 

 common southern form. Not so far recorded from Northern India. 



Culex impellens. (Walker.) 



' Proc. Linn. Soc. Lond.,' iv, p. 91, Walker ; ' Mono. Culicid.,' 1, 

 p. 362 (1901), Theobald. 



Thorax dark brown, covered with pale golden curved scales. Abdo- 

 men covered with dusky-brown scales, with basal white bands. Legs 

 brown, the mid and hind legs with a pale band involving both sides of 

 the tibio-metatarsal joint; tarsal banding basal. Bases of fork-cells 

 nearly level. 



Length. ? 4'5 mm. 



Habitat. N.W. Provinces ; Calcutta ; Perak. 



Observations. Closely related to C. microannulatus, but easily told by 

 the tibio-metatarsal banding.
