ments are pale at tip. Costa with two pale spots in the 

 distal half; wing-fringe with a pale spot at the ending of the 

 lower fork of the sth longitudinal vein. Italy and Hungary 

 in open country. 



2. Afi'ican Species. 



Anopheles {Mysorhynchus) strachani, Theobald. Palpi 

 black. Legs deep brown with faint bands at the intertarsal 

 joints. Wings black, except for three small yellow spots, 

 one of which is on the costa. From Lagos, West Africa. 



Anopheles {Myzorhynchus) paludtSyTh&dbaldi. Palpi black, 

 with four narrow white rings. In the hind leg the last 

 3 tarsal segments and part of the one preceding them are 

 snow-white. Wing-scales black, with some admixture of 

 yellow ; costa with two small yellow spots. Common in 

 Africa south of the latitude of the Sudan. 



Anopheles i^Mysorhynchus) maurittanus, Grandpr6, is prob- 

 ably a variety of paludis. The tarsi of the hind leg are 

 coloured in the same way, except that there is a narrow 

 black band at the base of the 3rd segment ; the banding of 

 the palpi varies considerably. Common in Africa, south 

 of Egypt; also in Mauritius and Madagascar. 



Anopheles (Myzorhynchus) constant, Laveran, and ziemani, 

 Griinberg, are probably this species. 



3. Asiatic Species. 



Anopheles {Myzorhynchus) sinensis, Wiedemann. Palpi 

 dark, with white tip and two white rings. Legs brown, most 

 of the tarsal segments with pale base. Wing-scales mostly 

 dark ; two small yellowish-white spots on the costa, a yellow 

 spot in the fringe at the tip of the wing, and one in the 

 wing-fringe proper, at the ending of the lower branch of 

 the 5th longitudinal vein. Oriental Region generally ; also 

 Japan. 



Anopheles {Myzorhynchus) peditcBniatus, Leicester. From 

 the Malay States. Is probably a variety of this species. 



Anopheles {Myzorhynchus) vanus. Walker. Differs from 

 sinensis in being smaller, and in having no spot in the wing- 

 fringe proper, Oriental Region. 



Anopheles {Myzorhynchiis) minutus, Theobald. Palpi
