proximal end. Abdominal scales restricted to the terminal 

 segment and genital lobes. Australia and Tasmania. 



Anopheles {Nyssorhynchus) mastersi, Skuse. Is identical 

 with annulipes. 



Series II. — Neocellia, Theobald. 



The species here included resemble Nyssorhynchus in 

 every particular except that the abdominal scales instead of 

 being limited to certain segments (or absent altogether) are 

 to be found on the dorsal surface of all the abdominal 

 segments, though they are not very numerous on the most 

 anterior segments. As the name has become current there is 

 no harm in retaining it as "generic " in the logician's sense of 

 the term. 



The species are entirely Oriental and chiefly Indian. 



Anopheles {Neocellia) indicus, Theobald. Palpi with a 

 narrow white band, two broad white bands, and black tip. 

 Legs speckled with white ; in the hind legs the intertarsal 

 junctions are broadly white-banded, and the last tarsal 

 segment is all white. Costa with four black spots, not in- 

 cluding two minute ones near root of wing. Dehra Dun 

 (Northern India). 



Anopheles {Neocellia) stephensii, Liston { = Nyssorhynchus 

 stephensii of Theobald's Monograph). Palpi with a narrow 

 white band, and two broad white bands, one of which is 

 terminal, so that the tip is white. Legs speckled with white ; 

 in the hind legs the tarsal bands are small, and the last 

 tarsal segment is brown. India, Philippine Islands. Neo- 

 cellia intermedia, Rothwell is, as James suspects, this species. 



Anopheles {Neocellia) willmorii, James { = Nyssorhynchus 

 willmorii of Theobald's Monograph). Palpi as in stephensii. 

 Legs thickly speckled with white ; in the hind legs the first 

 2 tarsal segments both have a broad white terminal band, 

 the next 2 are white with broad dark bands across the 

 middle, and the 5th is entirely white. Oriental Region 

 pretty generally. Neocellia dudgeonii, Theobald, from the 

 Kangra Valley is, as James suspects, this species. Nysso- 

 rhynchus pseudowillmorii, Theobald, from Jalpaiguri, is also a 

 synonym of this species. 



Anopheles {Neocellia) fowlerii, Christophers, has the last 3
