Anopheles maculipalpis. 



The abdomen is of a dark colour and thickly covered with 

 light and dark hairs. As in fuliginosus and jamesi, scales are 

 present only on the last one or two segments of the abdomen. 



The wings are covered with black and white scales, the 

 former being most numerous. 



The costa has three distinct white spots, and in addition the 

 distal extremity is white, and there are two minute white spots on 

 the proximal portion. 



The first long vein has three white spots corresponding to 

 the three prominent ones on the costa. Its distal and proximal 

 extremities are also white-scaled. In addition there are two 

 white spots beneath the largest central black-scaled area on 

 the costa. 



The second long vein has white scales at the points where the 

 transverse veins meet it, and at its bifurcation, and one spot on 

 each of its branches. 



The third long vein is white -scaled at the position of the 

 transverse veins, and it has two other white-scaled portions between 

 that point and its termination, which is also white-scaled. 



The fourth long vein is for the most part dark-scaled, except 

 at its proximal extremity, at the position of the transverse veins, 

 at its bifurcation, and at a spot on each of its branches. 



The fifth long vein is for the most part light-scaled. It has 

 two dark spots on its main trunk, three on its anterior branch, and 

 two on its posterior branch. 



The sixth long vein is for the most part light-scaled, but has 

 three dark-scaled spots. 



The wing fringe has light scales at the distal extremity of ail 

 the long veins. 



The femora, tibiae, and first tarsal segments of all the legs are 

 speckled with white spots, and the joints between these segments 

 have white scales. There are light scales at the joints between 

 the tarsal segments, except between the fourth and fifth segments 

 in the fore and mid legs, and between the first and second segments 

 in the hind legs. The three terminal segments of the hind legs are 

 entirely white.

 frontal hairs are thickly branched, the branches of the external
