  Unless 
  the 
  Mediterranean 
  C. 
  impudicits 
  should 
  prove 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  same, 
  this 
  species 
  

   appears 
  to 
  be 
  confined 
  to 
  West 
  Africa. 
  I 
  have 
  seen 
  males 
  from 
  the 
  following 
  localities 
  

   only: 
  Sierra 
  Leone: 
  Freetown 
  (Austen). 
  Gold 
  Coast: 
  Bibianaha 
  (Spurrell) 
  ; 
  

   Obuasi 
  (Graham) 
  ; 
  Koforidua 
  (Corson). 
  

  

  Culex 
  (Culiciomyia) 
  cinerellus, 
  sp. 
  n. 
  

  

  Differs 
  from 
  C. 
  nebulosus, 
  Theo., 
  as 
  follows 
  : 
  — 
  Average 
  size 
  smaller 
  (and 
  therefore 
  

   much 
  smaller 
  than 
  C. 
  cinereus). 
  Pleurae 
  slightly 
  shining, 
  not 
  distinctly 
  dusted 
  with 
  

   grey, 
  without 
  scales 
  ; 
  darker 
  towards 
  mesonotum 
  and 
  sternum, 
  the 
  intermediate 
  

   part 
  slightly 
  but 
  distinctly 
  paler. 
  Wing 
  scales 
  linear. 
  Coxae 
  apparently 
  without 
  

   scales. 
  Hypopygium 
  : 
  side-piece 
  without 
  ventro-lateral 
  hair-patch. 
  Lobe 
  smaller 
  ; 
  

   spines 
  longer 
  in 
  proportion 
  and 
  more 
  slender, 
  placed 
  close 
  together, 
  with 
  one 
  long 
  

   and 
  two 
  short 
  associated 
  bristles 
  ; 
  leaves 
  both 
  quite 
  short 
  and 
  narrow. 
  Clasper 
  

   less 
  bent, 
  with 
  a 
  less 
  distinct 
  membranous 
  expansion. 
  Finger-like 
  processes 
  of 
  

   mesosome 
  placed 
  close 
  together, 
  very 
  long 
  and 
  slender, 
  about 
  twice 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  

   basal 
  part, 
  without 
  a 
  distinct 
  tooth 
  at 
  the 
  base.

  On 
  a 
  Collection 
  made 
  by 
  Dr. 
  H. 
  Cogill 
  at 
  Karwar, 
  N. 
  Kanara, 
  India. 
  

  

  In 
  February 
  1922 
  a 
  collection 
  of 
  about 
  350 
  specimens 
  of 
  mosquitos, 
  together 
  

   with 
  some 
  other 
  insects, 
  was 
  presented 
  to 
  the 
  British 
  Museum 
  by 
  Dr. 
  H. 
  Cogill, 
  

   the 
  material 
  having 
  been 
  collected 
  by 
  him 
  while 
  at 
  Karwar, 
  N. 
  Kanara, 
  India, 
  in 
  

   the 
  years 
  1901-5. 
  The 
  collection 
  is 
  of 
  historical 
  interest, 
  since 
  it 
  contains 
  a 
  number 
  

   of 
  examples 
  of 
  Anopheles 
  cnliciformis, 
  Cogill, 
  which, 
  until 
  its 
  recent 
  redescription 
  

   by 
  Christophers 
  and 
  Khazan 
  Chand 
  (Ind. 
  Jl. 
  Med. 
  Res., 
  iii, 
  No. 
  4, 
  1916), 
  was 
  not 
  known 
  

   to 
  exist 
  in 
  any 
  public 
  collection, 
  and 
  the 
  original 
  types 
  were 
  supposed 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  

   lost. 
  Below 
  are 
  given 
  notes 
  on 
  the 
  more 
  interesting 
  species 
  in 
  the 
  collection, 
  including 
  

   descriptions 
  of 
  two 
  which 
  are 
  apparently 
  new 
  to 
  science. 
  

  

  Anopheles 
  (Anopheles) 
  culiciformis, 
  Cogill. 
  

  

  The 
  collection 
  contains 
  several 
  examples 
  of 
  each 
  sex 
  of 
  this 
  species, 
  besides 
  a 
  

   few 
  mounted 
  larvae. 
  Both 
  adults 
  and 
  larvae 
  agree 
  almost 
  entirely 
  with 
  Christophers' 
  

   and 
  Khazan 
  Chand's 
  detailed 
  description, 
  the 
  only 
  difference 
  being 
  that 
  the 
  female 
  

   palpi 
  are 
  decidedly 
  less 
  shaggy, 
  the 
  scales 
  being 
  rather 
  closely 
  applied. 
  The 
  palpi 
  

   in 
  both 
  sexes, 
  however, 
  are 
  decidedly 
  stouter 
  than 
  those 
  of 
  A. 
  aitkeni. 
  I 
  cannot 
  

   detect 
  palmate 
  hairs 
  on 
  the 
  thorax 
  of 
  the 
  larvae, 
  but 
  these 
  were 
  described 
  and 
  figured 
  

   by 
  Cogill 
  and 
  are 
  no 
  doubt 
  present 
  in 
  perfect 
  specimens. 
  Since 
  no 
  type 
  specimen 
  

   was 
  selected 
  by 
  Cogill, 
  the 
  examples 
  in 
  this 
  collection 
  may 
  be 
  regarded 
  as 
  cotypes. 
  

  

  Anopheles 
  (Myzomyia) 
  subpictus 
  var. 
  vagus, 
  Don. 
  

  

  This 
  is 
  represented 
  in 
  the 
  collection 
  by 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  examples, 
  being 
  about 
  as 
  

   numerous 
  as 
  the 
  type 
  form. 
  In 
  one 
  example 
  the 
  dark 
  wing-markings 
  are 
  greatly 
  

   reduced, 
  being 
  almost 
  confined 
  to 
  three 
  very 
  small 
  patches 
  on 
  the 
  costa 
  and 
  first 
  

   vein. 
  This 
  specimen 
  is 
  interesting 
  as 
  lending 
  support 
  to 
  the 
  view, 
  which 
  has 
  been 
  

   expressed 
  by 
  Swellengrebel 
  and 
  adopted 
  by 
  the 
  present 
  writer, 
  that 
  Theobald's 
  

   A. 
  immaculatus 
  is 
  merely 
  an 
  albinoid 
  aberration 
  of 
  A. 
  subpictus 
  var. 
  vagus. 
  

  

  Anopheles 
  (Myzomyia) 
  minimus, 
  Theo. 
  

  

  This 
  is 
  the 
  most 
  abundant 
  Anopheles 
  in 
  the 
  collection, 
  and, 
  as 
  indicated 
  by 
  the 
  

   labels 
  attached, 
  is 
  the 
  species 
  which 
  was 
  recorded 
  by 
  Cogill 
  as 
  A. 
  fluviatilis. 
  All 
  

   the 
  specimens 
  are 
  of 
  the 
  typical 
  form, 
  the 
  proboscis 
  being 
  dark 
  both 
  above 
  and 
  below 
  ;
