  Differs 
  from 
  A. 
  (F.) 
  gnbematoris, 
  Giles, 
  as 
  follows 
  : 
  — 
  Head 
  without 
  a 
  median 
  

   pale 
  stripe, 
  the 
  eye-margins 
  narrowly 
  silvery 
  white. 
  Pro-epimera 
  bare, 
  except 
  for 
  

   a 
  small 
  patch 
  of 
  silvery-white 
  scales 
  on 
  the 
  posterior 
  margin. 
  Anterior 
  white 
  patch 
  

   of 
  mesonotum 
  somewhat 
  larger 
  and 
  more 
  silvery 
  ; 
  pre-alar 
  white 
  patches 
  smaller. 
  

   Scutellum 
  with 
  the 
  median 
  lobe 
  densely 
  covered 
  with 
  flat 
  silvery-white 
  scales 
  ; 
  

   lateral 
  lobes 
  with 
  a 
  few 
  flat 
  black 
  scales.

  pale 
  ring

  ; 
  a 
  rather 
  well-marked 
  pale 
  spot 
  at 
  the 
  junction 
  

   of 
  the 
  second 
  and

  Culex 
  (Micraedes 
  ?) 
  khazani, 
  Edw. 
  

  

  I 
  have 
  recently 
  described 
  this 
  species 
  from 
  a 
  male 
  collected 
  by 
  Khazan 
  Chand 
  

   at 
  Pudupadi, 
  S.W. 
  India 
  ; 
  this 
  male 
  was 
  somewhat 
  immature 
  and 
  shrivelled, 
  and 
  

   did 
  not 
  allow 
  of 
  a 
  precise 
  description 
  of 
  all 
  its 
  characters. 
  Dr. 
  Cogill's 
  collection 
  

   contains 
  two 
  females, 
  one 
  of 
  which 
  is 
  very 
  perfect, 
  and 
  enables 
  me 
  to 
  give 
  a 
  number 
  

   of 
  additional 
  characters 
  for 
  the 
  species. 
  

  

  Head 
  with 
  a 
  broad 
  margin 
  of 
  flat 
  scales 
  round 
  the 
  eyes 
  ; 
  posteriorly 
  with 
  a 
  

   large 
  area 
  of 
  narrow 
  pale 
  ones. 
  Proboscis 
  rather 
  long 
  for 
  a 
  Culex, 
  being 
  distinctly 
  

   longer 
  than 
  the 
  front 
  femora. 
  Thorax 
  with 
  the 
  mesonotal 
  bristles 
  unusually 
  long 
  

   and 
  strong, 
  and 
  extending 
  the 
  whole 
  length. 
  Integument 
  of 
  mesonotum 
  dark 
  

   brown 
  ; 
  a 
  blackish 
  brown 
  patch, 
  indistinctly 
  margined, 
  on 
  each 
  side 
  just 
  in 
  front 
  

   of 
  the 
  wings. 
  Integument 
  of 
  pleurae 
  pale, 
  with 
  a 
  large 
  blackish 
  brown 
  spot 
  occupying 
  

   the 
  lower 
  half 
  of 
  the 
  mesepimera 
  ; 
  no 
  dark 
  line 
  above 
  this. 
  Lower 
  mesepimeral 
  

   bristle 
  small 
  and 
  pale. 
  Scarcely 
  any 
  scales 
  on 
  pleurae. 
  Scutellum 
  with 
  narrow 
  

   dark 
  brown 
  scales 
  like 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  mesonotum. 
  Abdomen 
  blackish 
  brown 
  ; 
  venter 
  

   only 
  a 
  little 
  paler 
  than 
  the 
  dorsum 
  ; 
  no 
  trace 
  of 
  pale 
  lateral 
  spots. 
  Legs 
  blackish 
  ; 
  

   hind 
  femora 
  white 
  almost 
  to 
  the 
  tip 
  on 
  the 
  outer 
  side, 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  basal 
  three-fourths 
  

   on 
  the 
  inner 
  side. 
  

  

  Culex 
  (Micraedes 
  ?) 
  malayi, 
  Lcic. 
  

  

  Numerous 
  specimens. 
  In 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  males 
  the 
  abdomen 
  has 
  a 
  faintly 
  banded 
  

   appearance 
  to 
  the 
  naked 
  eye, 
  the 
  segments 
  being 
  thinly 
  scaled 
  towards 
  the 
  base.

  Numerous

  all 
  of 
  this 
  variety. 
  The

  represented 
  

   in

  This
