Synonym, Nyssorhynchus Fuliginosiis (Theobald). 



This is a very dark mosquito with white spots on the wing, 

 without speckled femora or tibiae, and with the last three segments 

 of the tarsus of each hind leg white. 



The palpi have white tips, and there are white-scaled bands 

 at the joints between the fourth and third, and third and second, 

 segments of the palpi. The dark scales on the second segment 

 are longer than those on the other segments. 



The proboscis is black-scaled with a white tip. 



The head is covered with black and white scales, the latter 

 being most numerous on the occiput. 



The dorsal surface of the thorax is covered with white scales. 

 A median and two lateral darker longitudinal lines can be indistinct- 

 ly made out. The lateral aspects of the thorax are dark. 



The abdomen is dark coloured, and covered with numerous 

 light yellow hairs ; a few dark scales are to be found on the posterior 

 extremity of the abdomen. 



The wing veins are covered with short spindle-shaped scales, 

 and the wings are for the most part black. The costa has five small 

 white spots, one of which is situated at the apex of the wing.
