Anopheles (Pyretophorus) freerae, Banks. Palpi with two white bands, 

 one including the tip, and often a few pale spots near the base. Fore 

 and mid legs with banded tarsi ; posterior tarsi snow white. From 

 Manilla. 



Anopheles (Calvertina) Hneatns, Ludlow. Palpi with three white 

 bands, the apical one including the tip. Legs dark, hind metatarsus 

 with a white spot at its apex, the next segment has a broad white apical 

 band, and all the remaining joints are pure white. Costa with four 

 small white spots, and a smaller fifth one at the tip. From the 

 Philippine Islands. 



Anopheles (Cellia ; Nyssorhynchus) flavus, Ludlow. Palpi almost 

 white with four yellowish bands, the apical one broad, and including 

 the tip. Costa with seven or eight dark brown spots, four of which are 

 large, and two basal ones. From the Philippine Islands. 



Anopheles (sensu restricto) treacheri, Leicester. Said by James and 

 Stanton to be identical with the Indian aitkeni (see page 228). 



Anopheles (Myzomyia) aurirostris, Watson. Palpi brown with four 

 white bands. Thorax and abdomen brown. Legs brown and unbanded. 

 A small species from the Federated Malay States. 



Anopheles (Nyssorhynchus) nivipes, Theobald. Palpi brown with two 

 white bands or patches on ventral surface. James and Stanton record 

 having seen the female, though up to the present the male alone has 

 been described. According to these observers it is closely related to 

 the Indian fitliginosus ; it is found in Malay. Christophers records a 

 local variety from the Andaman Islands, and has found its larvae in 

 rice fields close to a sea embankment. 



AUSTRALIAN SPECIES OF ANOPHELES 



Anopheles (Nyossrhynchtts) annulipes, Walker. Palpi brown, with 

 four white bands, the proximal one broad, the basal narrow. Thorax 

 of a slate brown colour with a central line of yellowish scales. Ab- 

 domen brownish black, clothed with yellow hairs. Tarsi with apical 

 and basal pale bands. Costa with four black spots. Widely distributed 

 in Australia and Tasmania, where it is believed to be the chief natural 

 carrier of the parasites of malaria. It is also found in Formosa, where 

 Kinoshita has demonstrated that it is suitable host for the parasites of 

 malaria. 



Anopheles (Myzorhynchus) bancrofti, Giles. Palpi black and un- 

 banded. Thorax black with golden brown scales. Abdomen black
