anterior fork of second longitudinal, the next somewhat larger, through first longi- 

 tudinal, the third and largest of all extends as a long spot on the costa and subcosta 

 and three small ones on the first longitudinal, so arranged as to resemble an overturned 

 E ( m) ; the middle of these is the largest and connects with the one on the second 

 longitudinal ; the fourth spot (counting from the apex of the wing) includes the sub- 

 costa and first longitudinal, and even the two small ones include the subcosta, 

 making all these costal spots very distinct. The apex of the costa is, however, 

 light. There are two dark spots on anterior fork of second longitudinal, and one on 

 the posterior fork ; two small spots at the base of the third longitudinal ; one on the 

 anterior fork of the fourth longitudinal, a small one near the apex of the posterior 

 fork, the stem is dark to posterior cross-vein, and after a small white spot, about one- 

 half the way to tlie base of the vein ; anterior fork of fifth has three dark spots, and 

 there is one on the posterior near the apex, also on the stem of fifth near base o 

 wing ; there are three dark spots on the sixth longitudinal, one at the apex, one near 

 the middle, and one near the base. A large part of the second and fourth are there- 

 fore dark, while the fifth has a large part cream-colored and still a larger proportion 

 of the third is light. The fringe is mottled, cream and brown, nearly equally to the 

 to the sixth longitudinal, after which it is dark. Dark spots occur in the fringe at the 

 apex of the anterior fork of the second longitudinal and at apices of the first posterior, 

 second posterior, third posterior, anal, auxiliary, and spurious cells (Theobald's nam- 

 ing) with light spots at the apices of each intervening vein. The first submarginal 

 call is a little longer than the second posterior, the base of the former being a little 

 nearer the base of the wing. The posterior cross-vein is about one and one half times 

 its length nearer the base of the wing than the mid cross-vein, and the supernumerary 

 vein a little nearer the apex of the wing than the latter. Length (including proboscis) 

 5 mm.

This mosquito is related A. jamesii Theo., but differs in so many 

 points — antennee, palpi, wings, legs — that although the differences 

 in antennae and wings are not great, those of the palpi and legs are so 

 distinctive I have, after some hesitation, decided to keep it a distinct 

 species. 

 Anopheles pseudobarbirostris, sp. nov. 



Female. — Head very dark brown, with some pale scales on top, spreading in 

 front toward the sides, and partly around the eyes, tuft in front white with a few dark 

 hairs, and dark hairs behind the eyes, otherwise covered with rather broad not deeply 

 forked scales with fimbriated tops, the tips gray ; narrow median space bare. An- 

 tennae a lighter brown, minute white apical bands on the joints, first joint brown ; ver- 

 ticels brown, pubescence white. Palpi very heavily scaled with dark brown (almost 

 black) scales, many of which are ochraceous tipped, so that the effect is "rusty," 

 joints obscure but can be seen by breaks in the scales ; as long as the proboscis ; last 

 joint with brown hairs. Proboscis also heavily dark scaled, some ochraceous tipped ; 

 tip is lighter but still brown. Eyes dark brown, narrow white rim part of the way 

 round.
