Anopheles punctiilatus. 



markings of the mid legs are the same as those of the fore legs. In 

 the hind legs (see figure) the femora and tibiae are speckled with 

 white scales. At the lower end of the tibia and the upper end of 

 the first tarsal segment (metatarsus) there are broad white bands, 

 the two together forming a very broad and characteristic band at 

 this joint ; at the other tarsal joints also there are white bands. 

 The tip of the fifth tarsal segment has a few white scales. None 

 of the tarsal segments are wholly white. 



Characters of the lance. The larvae of this species were found by 

 Dr. Cogill "in pools in the open while water was abundant, but 

 as a rule in jungle springs, and it was particularly partial to wate r 

 containing decaying leaves. " The larva has simple unbranched 

 frontal hairs and well-developed palmate hairs on the first seven 

 abdominal segments. The terminal filaments of the palmafce hairs 

 are rather short (see figure). 



Habitat Bred from larvae by Dr. Cogill in Karwar. The 

 adults were never found in houses.

A large mosquito with the wing veins thickly clothed with 

 rather broad spindle-shaped black and white scales forming very 

 numerous dark and light spots on the wing field ; palpi mostly 

 white scaled and with speckled legs, the terminal segments of the 

 hind legs being entirely black. 



The head with the usual scale characters and with a white 

 frontal tuft. 



Palpi with four broad white bands. The anterior half of each 

 palp is practically white, but it has two narrow black bands which 

 divide it into three white scaled portions, The posterior half of 

 each palp is mostly black-scaled, but divided into two by a narrow 

 light- scaled band. A few white scales also occur on the dorsal 

 surface of each palp near the base. 



Thorax covered with golden brown and white hair-like scales 

 and hairs.
