Anopheles nagpori. 



at least three hind tarsal segments entirely white, while the others 

 have less than three. 



Jamesi is most readily distinguished from maculipalpis by an 

 examination of the palpi, the former has a broad terminal and two 

 narrow white bands without additional speckling, while the latter 

 has two broad distal and one narrow basal band and has additional 

 speckling. 



Theobaldi is distinguished from maculatus only by the fact that 

 the former has two segments in the hind tarsus wholly white, while 

 the latter has only one. 



We may here refer to a specimen which Mr. Theobald (Mono- 

 graph, Vol. Ill, p. 96) thinks probably represents a distinct species, 

 and which for the purposes of our synoptic table (page 32) we have 

 named A. nagpori. It was found by Dr. Stephens at Nagpur 

 (Central Provinces). Its main characteristics are as follow:~(l ) The 

 palpi are marked with three narrow white bands, the terminal of 

 which is some distance below the tip so that the tips of the palpi 

 are black. The base of each palp is densely black-scaled. (2) In 

 the fore leg there are no white bands at the apices of the femur 

 and tibia, but there is a small white band at the apex of each tarsal 

 segment. In the middle leg there are no white bands at any 

 joints. In the hind leg there is a faint white spot at the apex of 

 the tibia, and a white spot at the apices of the first and second 

 tarsal segments. The fourth and fifth and two-thirds of the 

 third tarsal segments of the hind leg are pure white. (3) There 

 is no speckling of the legs or palpi.
