PLEA FOR INVESTIGATION OF INDIAN CULICIDIZ, | 607. 
narrow yellowish-white basal bands. | Proboscis with three ochreous 
bands. 
Travancore—From Captain James, I.M.S. 
46a. CULEX PERTURBANS, Walker. 
Wings unspotted ; tarsi with lighter basal bands ; thorax unadorned ; 
abdomen with ochreous apical bands. Proboscis with a single ochreous 
band, a little beyond the middle. Wing scales of the usual form. 
54. CuLEex DIVvEs, Schiner. 
Wings unspotted ; tarsal joints basally white-ringed ; thorax 
and abdomen dark brown, with minute white dots laterally. Apices 
of palpi, bases of antennz, and frons white-scaled. 
I have not personally verified the occurrence of this form, and perhaps 
its habitat hardly entitles it to be considered an Indian species. 
V 63a. CULEX PSEUDOTANIATUS, sp. n. 
Wings unspotted; tarsi black with white rings formed on the 
bases and apices of contiguous joints. Thorax black, elaborately 
adorned with fine white lines (almost as in C. teniatus, Meig.) ; abdo- 
minal segments black with narrow basal bands: venter pale fawn. 
The general colouration is an intense violet-black. 
Mr. Theobald regards this asa synonym of C. notoscriptus, Skuse, 
but there are several notable differences, and Skuse’s description is too 
minute to assume these as due to oversight. 
Bakloh and Naini Tal. 
V 64a, CULEX GUBERNATORIS, sp. nu. 
Wings unspotted ; tarsi each with two bands, one at the base of 
the first, the second over articulation between first and second joints ; 
thorax sooty, with a round anterior median and four lateral spots at 
the corners of the notum ; abdominal segments black with large snowy 
lateral spots, anda minute terminal median spot on the last ; venter 
sooty. Allahabad Government House Garden. 
98a, CULEX BITENIORHYNCHUS, ‘sp. n. 
Wings unspotted ; tarsal joints deep brown with ochreous bands at 
base and apex so that two joints combine to form rings at the articula- 
tions ; thorax unadorned, black, covered with mingled black and golden 
scales ; abdominal segments black with distal ochreous bands. Pro- 
boscis black with two ochreous bands at the tip and in the middle. 
Travancore—from Captain James, I, M. 8S.
