with Descriptions of New Species of Anopheles. 389 



Length of ? 4'5 mm. 



Habitat. Quilon, Travancore ; Dacca ; Ceylon ; Perak ; Selangor. 



Observations. A very distinct species with a wide distribution in 

 India. The frosty anterior two-thirds of the thorax will identify it at 

 once. 



A distinct variety, cuneatus, occurs in Southern India at Quilon, in 

 which the abdominal bands have a triangular median projection. 



Culex tipuliformis. (Theobald.)

Thorax brown, with narrow, golden-brown curved scales, paler behind ; 

 pleurae white scaled. Abdomen dark brown, with basal white median 

 semicircular patches on segments two to five, basal bands spreading out 

 laterally on the apical segments ; legs unhanded, paler brown, long and 

 thin; femora and tibiae with a distinct line of white scales running 

 down them. Proboscis with apparently two pale bands. 



Length. 5 - 8 mm. ( $ ). 



Habitat. Bakloh (N.W.P.). 



Observations. A very distinct large species, with peculiar leg orna- 

 mentation. I am not certain of the proboscis banding, having seen 

 only a single specimen. 



Culex pulcriventer. (Giles.) 



The Entomologist,' p. 194 (1901), Giles ; ' Mono. Culicid.,' ii, p. 48
