234 MEDICAL ENTOMOLOGY 



white bands at their distal ends, the third and fourth segments also 

 at their proximal ends; the last segment is entirely white. Costa 

 with one large, three medium sized, and two basal small black spots. 

 Larva with frontal hairs simple and unbranched. Palmate hairs absent 

 on the thorax. This species is found in Karwar and Goa and most 

 probably in other parts of the Bombay Presidency ; it is also common 

 at certain seasons in the Bengal Duars ; Leicester records it from 

 Malay. 



Anopheles (Neocellia) indica, Theobald. Palpi dark, with three white 

 bands, the apices dark. Thorax with a frosty sheen. Abdomen brown 

 to black, legs with femora, tibiae, and all the first tarsal segments 

 spotted ; second tarsal segment of hind leg with a broad white band, 

 the third and fourth with bands at both ends, and the fifth entirely 

 white. Costa with six black spots, the two basal ones small. This 

 species is found at Dehra Dun and other places at the foot of the 

 Himalayas. 



Anopheles (Neocellia} willmori, James. Palpi black, with three white 

 bands, the apical one including the tip. Thorax greyish brown. Ab- 

 domen dark, covered with white scales and hairs. Legs dark brown, 

 extensively speckled with white spots ; the distal end of the second hind 

 tarsal segment has a broad white band continuous with a similar band 

 on the upper end of the third segment, the third and fourth segments 

 have broad apical and basal bands, and the last segment is entirely 

 white. Costa with four large and three small basal black spots. The 

 egg is of the listoni type, the upper surface being narrow. Larva with 

 simple and unbranched frontal hairs, and a well developed posterior 

 hair. Palmate hairs well marked from the third to the seventh seg- 

 ments, rudimentary on the second ; the leaflet is moderately long, ser- 

 rated, and has a short filament. This important species is widely dis- 

 tributed in the Punjab and Kashmir ; it is found at Pathankot, and in the 

 Kangra valley, where Mrs. Adie has found it infected with sporozoits ; 

 it is common at Murree, Almorah, and in parts of Chitral. It breeds 

 in streams and clear pools. 



A variety maculosa, James and Listen, is said to be abundant at the 

 foot of the Himalayas ; it differs from the type in having several white 

 patches between the two proximal palpal bands in addition to the usual 

 markings. 



Anopheles (Neocellia) stephensi, Listen. (Plate XXXVIII, fig. 2.)
