﻿AFRICAN SPECIES OF ANOPHELES (SENSU LATO). 249 



(ii) var. subumbrosa, Theo., Mon. Cul. Ill, p. 34 (1903). No pale spot on 

 costa near base ; third vein with some pale scales in middle ; fringe spots usually 

 distinct. As far as I can see Theobald's Myzomyla leptomeres (Mon. Cul. Ill, 

 p. 38) is identical with this variety. 



(iii) var. bisignata, Griinb., Zool. Anz. XXIX, p. 378 (1905). No pale spot 

 near base of costa ; third vein, and sometimes also the fifth veiu, entirely dark ; 

 fringe spots indistinct or absent. The darkest specimens of this variety approach 

 A. rhodesiensis, but always have pale spots at the bases of the fork cells, and the 

 female palpi are shorter than in the latter species. 



25. A. impunctus, Donitz, Zeit. f. Hygiene, XLI, p. 67 (1902). 

 Egypt. 



26. A. hispaniola, Theo. (Myzomyia), Mon. Cul. Ill, p. 49 (1903). 

 Pyretoplwrus my zomy fades, Theo., Mon. Cul. IV, p. 69 (1907). 



Algeria ; Spain. 



27. A. Chaudoyei, Theo. {Pyretoplwrus), Mon. Cul. Ill, p. 68 (1903). 



Pyretophorus nigrifasciatus, Theo., Mon. Cul. IV, p. 65 (1907). 

 Algeria ; Cyprus ; India. 



8. A. multicolor, Camboulin, C. K. Acad. Sci., CXXXV, p. 704 (1902). 



I believe this species is correctly identified, but there is one strange statement 

 in the original description, namely, that the wings have blue markings. I assume 

 this merely refers to iridescence, which, however, is not visible in the specimens 

 at my disposal. Patton's A. azriki from Aden must be very close to this, but 

 has the wing-fringe entirely dark. 



Suez ; Cairo (F. Willcochs). 



29. A. cinereus, Theo., Mon. Cul. I, p. 161 (1901). 



A, (Myzomyia) jehaji, Patton, J. Bombay Nat. Hist. Soc. p. 630 (1905). 

 Aden ; British E. Africa ; S. Rhodesia ; Transvaal ; Natal ; Cape. 



30. A. transvaalensis, Carter (Pyretophorus), Entomologist, XLIIT, p. 237 



(1910). 



This is, in part, the species referred to by Hill & Haydon as Myzomyia 

 funesta, but from their descriptions it would seem that they also included A. mar- 

 shatti, and perhaps A. pitchfordi, under the same specific name. How far these 

 forms really represent distinct species must remain doubtful for the present. 



British E. Africa ; Transvaal ; Natal. 



31. A. superpictus, Grassi, Reale Accacl. Line. p. 78 (1900). 



Theobald's record of this from Mashonaland probably refers to some other 

 species (perhaps to A. transvaalensis) ; he does not repeat it in his last volume. 

 A. superpictus seems to be distinguished from A. nursei (which also occurs in the 

 Mediterranean region) only by the banded tarsi. 



32. A. marshalli, Theo. (Pyretophorus), Mon. Cul. Ill, p. 77 (1903). 



Pyretophorus pseudocostalis, Theo., Mon. Cul. V, p. 41 (1910).
