﻿AEKICAN SPECIES OF ANOPHELES (SENSU LATO). 247 



apex of the hind metatarsus almost absent, and no dark ring at the base of the 

 third hind tarsal joint. These speeimens differ from the Oriental A. fuliginosus 

 in having no scales on the abdomen of the female. 



Transvaal ; British E. Africa (Masongaleni, S. A. Neave) ; Gold Coast 

 (Bole, Dr. Ingram) ; N. Nigeria ; S. Nigeria (Oshogbo, Dr. J. J. Simpson).

 Transvaal ; Natal. 



13. A. implexus, Theo. (Christy a), Royal Soc, Kept. Sleeping Sickness Com., 



Ill, p. 34 (1903). 

 A very striking species, one of the largest of the genus. The third and fourth 

 joints of the hind tarsi are white, the fifth black. Femora and tibiae spotted. 

 Uganda ; British C. Africa (?). The latter record is now omitted by Theobald. 



14. A. theileri, nom. nov. 



Pyretophorus albipes, Theo., U. South Afr. Dept. Agric, First Rept. Vet. 

 Res. p. 243 (1911) (nee A. albipes, Theo., 1901). 

 A very distinct species, but in its wing-markings almost identical with the 

 following. 

 Transvaal. 



15. A. wellcomei, Theo.. First Rept. Welle. Lab. p. 64 (1904). 

 Sudan ; N. Nigeria ; Angola. 



16. A. natalensis, Hill and Haydon (Myzorkynchus), Ann. Natal Mus. I, p. 152 

 , (March 8, 1907). 



Natal. 



A. (Pyretophorus) watsonii, Leicester, from Malaya, answers rather closely 

 to the description of this species, the only apparent distinctions being 

 that in A. watsonii the wing-scales are shorter and less dense, and the 

 three additional spots on the first longitudinal vein reach the costa. 



17. A. ardensis, Theo. (Pyretophorus), J. Econ. Biol. I, p. 17 (1905). 



This species, though superficially very like A. costalis, probably has its nearest 

 ally in A. natalensis. 

 Natal.

A. gracilis, Donitz, I.e. p. 76. 



A. arabiensis, Patton, J. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc. p. 625 (1905). 

 Loew's original description includes no mention of the spots on the legs or of 

 bands on the tarsi, hence it is most probable that Donitz is correct in regarding 

 Theobald's identification of A. costalis as erroneous. But without examination
