  Giles, 
  from 
  which 
  the 
  new 
  species 
  differs 
  in 
  the 
  markings 
  of 
  the 
  palps 
  and 
  wings 
  and 
  

   conspicuously 
  in 
  the 
  abdominal 
  scaling 
  and 
  markings 
  of 
  the 
  hind 
  legs. 
  Two 
  varieties 
  

   of 
  fuliginosus 
  have 
  been 
  recorded 
  from 
  India 
  — 
  namely, 
  var. 
  adei, 
  James 
  and 
  

   Liston, 
  and 
  var. 
  nagpori, 
  James 
  and 
  Liston. 
  I 
  have 
  compared 
  the 
  new 
  species 
  in 
  

   detail 
  with 
  specimens 
  of 
  these 
  varieties 
  ; 
  it 
  is 
  clearly 
  distinct 
  from 
  them 
  in 
  the 
  wing, 
  

   palp 
  and 
  leg 
  markings 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  abdominal 
  scaling. 
  

  

  Other 
  species 
  described 
  as 
  having 
  more 
  than 
  two 
  and 
  less 
  than 
  three 
  hind 
  tarsal 
  

   segments 
  white 
  and 
  bearing 
  broad 
  elliptical 
  scales 
  on 
  the 
  thorax, 
  are 
  the 
  African 
  

   species 
  pretoriensis, 
  Theo., 
  the 
  Arabian 
  species 
  tibani, 
  Patton, 
  and 
  the 
  Indian 
  species 
  

   theobaldi, 
  Giles 
  ; 
  but 
  all 
  these 
  have 
  speckled 
  legs. 
  

  

  The 
  new 
  species 
  appears 
  to 
  resemble 
  in 
  some 
  of 
  its 
  markings 
  the 
  African 
  mfipes, 
  

   Gough, 
  first 
  referred 
  to 
  under 
  the 
  name 
  pretoriensis, 
  var. 
  rufipes 
  (Transvaal 
  Dept. 
  

   Agric, 
  Rept. 
  Gov. 
  Vet. 
  Bact., 
  p. 
  119, 
  1910), 
  and 
  later 
  described 
  by 
  Edwards 
  under 
  

   the 
  name 
  Anopheles 
  (Nyssorhynchus) 
  watsoni 
  (Bull. 
  Ent. 
  Res., 
  ii, 
  p. 
  143, 
  1911). 
  

   With 
  reference 
  to 
  this 
  species 
  Edwards 
  notes 
  that 
  " 
  there 
  are 
  no 
  scales 
  on 
  the 
  

   abdomen 
  of 
  the 
  female." 
  In 
  this 
  character 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  markings 
  of 
  the 
  legs 
  the 
  new 
  

   species 
  differs 
  from 
  rufipes, 
  and 
  these 
  characters 
  are 
  constant 
  in 
  the 
  small 
  number 
  

   of 
  specimens 
  examined.

  accompanying 
  drawings
